I have a brother and a sister-in-law who are California teachers. I've heard enough stories to gag a maggot. There is no doubt that there are problem teachers in the system. In many districts, they are the overwhelming majority.

I suspect you are being a bit reserved in your comments.

From what I have seen of the caliber of California teachers, I would NEVER send my grandchildren to a California Public School -- including those in Coronado or La Jolla. ($$)

Most of the teachers I am aware of could not find their cars in a parking lot without conducting a square search.
