Los Angeles, under Mayor Villaraigosa, a La Raza M.E.Ch.A party member, has long been in meltdown! So goes the nation? Los Angeles is characterized by the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR as “Mexican capital of America”. It has the highest murder rate by illegals from Mexico than the rest of the nation. Illegals collect $600 million in welfare yearly! And almost half those with a job are illegals using stolen social security numbers!
ARTICLE:
“The sprawling L.A. school district's 885 schools educate more than 600,000 students — about one out of every 10 students in California, and currently has a deficit of more than $600 million.”
COMMENT
Anyone that has witnessed a classroom in Los Angeles, like the teacher’s posted comments at bottom, may have a differing take. The student body of these schools is overwhelmingly Mexican. They’re illegals, or if born here, only identify as Mexicans. Therefore, they loathe English, literacy, and anything perceived to be aping gringos. Mexicans are the most racist people in the hemisphere!
ARTICLE:
“For the record, Los Angeles has a 50% dropout rate, and its school test scores are among the nation's lowest. Why? A recent Los Angeles Times series looked in extraordinary detail at school test scores over seven years and found the biggest influence on students' test performance was individual teachers — not socioeconomic background, or the school they attended, or its location, or spending.”

AT LOS ANGELES SANTEE EDUCATIONAL CENTER, WHERE THE STUDENT BODY IS OVERWHELMINGLY ILLEGAL, OR “ANCHORS”, CLASSES ARE TAUGHT IN SPANISH. BOOKS AND HANDOUTS ARE ALL IN SPANISH. STUDENTS SIT ON THEIR ASS WHEN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYED AT SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES, AND THESE ALL END IN VIVA MEXICO! VIVA MEXICO!.... What else do you need to know?
Here’s one teacher’s report on the illegals in our schools.
TEACHER’S POSTING ON CRAIGSLIST:
Subject: Cheap Labor This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent From a California school teacher - - -"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of: I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels. Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK) I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS A T WORK) I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" _hores and throwing things that the teachers were in tears. Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements? To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.

L.A.'s 'Taj Mahal' School's Real Cost
Posted 08/23/2010 07:10 PM ET
SCHOOL DAZE: Los Angeles' new Robert F. Kennedy school, with its trademark postmodern towers, took 20 years and cost $578 million to build, making it... View Enlarged Image
Education: For anyone who ever doubted bureaucrats' ability to spend, one need look only at Los Angeles' newest public school, the most expensive ever built. If only the education inside was as rich.
With a price tag of $578 million, the new Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools is an impressive building — perhaps indicative of what some call the Los Angeles Unified School District's edifice complex.
Critics have already dubbed it the Taj Mahal. Built on the site of the former Ambassador Hotel, where presidential candidate Robert Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, the 4,200-student school is a monument to the fiscal irresponsibility and extravagance of the nation's second-largest school district.
Remember, this is a district that complains chronically about being short of funding. And with good reason. The sprawling L.A. school district's 885 schools educate more than 600,000 students — about one out of every 10 students in California, and currently has a deficit of more than $600 million.
The district is undergoing a building boom, with 131 new schools being built now to ease expected overcrowding. But this is the third L.A. mega-school in as many years, each one pricier than the last.
It reflects a peculiar inversion of priorities — where buildings are lavishly funded, while the teachers' union does its best to undermine badly needed reforms. Who's looking out for the students? This is public policy at its worst, squandering precious money that will further weaken Los Angeles' failing public school system.
Just in case you're curious, what does half a bil get you in a high school? The new RFK school includes fine art murals, a marble memorial to the late Robert F. Kennedy, a state-of-the-art swimming pool and even keeps bits of the old hotel in place. It has talking benches — no joke — to commemorate the history of the site.
Part of the project is an arts school designed, as the Associated Press put it, "as a landmark, with a stainless steel, postmoderistic tower encircled by a roller coaster-like swirl."
"Over 20 years," the AP notes, "the project grew to encompass a dance studio with cushioned maple floors, a modern kitchen with a restaurant-quality pizza oven, a 10-acre park and teacher planning rooms between classrooms."
In short, lots of atmospherics, but little to do with education.
"New buildings are nice, but when they're run by the same people who've given us a 50% dropout rate, they're a big waste of taxpayer money," noted Ben Austin, a member of the California Board of Education and also executive director of a school reform group called Parent Revolution. "Parents aren't fooled."
It's a twist on the old dictum: Those that can, teach. Those that can't, build. Right now, that describes the Los Angeles Unified School District.
For the record, Los Angeles has a 50% dropout rate, and its school test scores are among the nation's lowest. Why? A recent Los Angeles Times series looked in extraordinary detail at school test scores over seven years and found the biggest influence on students' test performance was individual teachers — not socioeconomic background, or the school they attended, or its location, or spending.
So why build big, hyperexpensive temples to learning if you're only going to fill them with rotten teachers? Rather than building more spectacular educational Taj Mahals, school officials and parents would be wiser to challenge the all-powerful United Teachers Los Angeles union, which has put a headlock on all meaningful school reforms.
If teachers are rewarded based on performance, not tenure or political clout, Los Angeles will finally get the schools it deserves and wants — and for which it has already paid handsomely.
