Time to home school

Governor Schwarzenegger proposed budget will cut 4.8 billion in education funding in California. Our education system is already questionable to begin with but this is just fucked. When I was in high school we were rationing paper towels and toilet paper. My mom is a middleschool teacher with only two years in so the thought of losing her job is hanging over our heads. Guess kids can always join gangs, sell drugs, and go to prison. California has plenty of finacial stability there.

Theres probably gonna be more STD's too, since they won't have money to show the 1970's sex ed/STD awareness videos. "When two shrubs rub"

except homeschooling is currently illegal in cali unless the parent has a teaching degree...
this just happened last month...

some kids were homeschooled and were being abused...
so the judge ruled homeshooling is illegal sothe kids have to go to school so the schools will be aware of abuse at home and ty to stop it....
but oh yeah there are 40 kids per classroom, how the fuck is the teacher going to notice...

Cali may be fucked, but it's better then pittsburgh

How can citizens expect money for something as paltry and unimportant as schooling for their kids? Don't they realize that money is better spent spreading democracy across the world? :puzzled::thumbdown:

I guess that deal that would've privatized Cali's lottery went under. Damn that's a huge gash in the school budget. I love how we're spending all this money in Iraq yet can't put enough money into the education system.

"It has been projected that over the next five years, the state's budget for locking up people will rise by 9 percent annually, compared with its spending on higher education, which will rise only by 5 percent."

This is how the REPUBLICANS break the UNION and seperate the classes even further.
