>>Most high school graduates have difficulty making change.<< this seems to be "universal" in the US, not only CA. A lot of high school graduates cannot calculate simple arithmetic without calculator, which they start to use from elementary school! Personally, I think there is NO reason to ever allow the use of calculator in any class in elementary school. >>First generation are laborers.<< I think this is true for the immigrants from Mexico, NOT true for the immigrants from other countries.

You cannot top New Jersey and New York in Cost per pupil. State average for the year 2002 is more than $10000. the.honoluluadvertiser.com evalsoft06.evalsoft.com New Jersey's teacher's union is so powerful that they lobbied to remove Science and Geography from their standardized tests for upto 4th grade. Average Americans (American Sheeple and J6P) knowledge in geography may be slightly better than those tribes roaming around in interior Sahara desert and the teachers union applied an icing on that cake by removing these two subjects. Power to teacher's union. -Nat
