"...my point that most of the problems are with the teaching and not the spending."

Steve, how did you come to this conclusion?

My experience is that most of the problems in California are due to the diversity of students in California schools. I believe the cultural and linguistic diversity of California students is nearly twice that of the second most diverse state (Florida?). If I'm not mistaken, over 50% of California students are identified as culturally or linguistically diverse. Compare this to the next most diverse state with a 30% "diverse" student population. Within these diverse populations, one must look closely at the socio-economic factors to get a better idea of what the problems are.

With such a complex student population, why should we expect students to score higher on tests than other states that allocate more money per student? Why should California teachers/students be expected to outperform teachers/students from other states that receive more support?
