Another casualty of prop 13 was the schools in CA which went from first to worst in 30 short years. Lizzie...you go that right. California's elementary school reading scores were almost last or tied for last in the nation several years ago. The "whole language" method of reading education was bought into hook, line and sinker. It didn't work... Bi-lingual education was forced on the system...it didn't and doesn't work... Compulsory passing of students to the next grade level when they should be failing...it doesn't work... Buying into the theory that you shouldn't harm a student's self-esteem by giving them a low grade...it doesn't work... There's only one thing that works and that is hard work by the student, parental participation and encouragement, and not babysitting and coddling students. I was educated by some great teachers who said "the work is either done or not done, there are no in-betweens". When it's B&W like that, the kids learn there is no grey area and they thrive in the framework it creates. One of my favorite teacher's (post-college extension) most inspiring quotes was, "Your competition is perfect."
