No problem. They’ll pressure the big unions to find a way to make it illegal for these students to leave. This is what leftist teachers do best....it’s the only thing they can do at all!

The elementary schools are probably just as bad as the middle schools. The difference is most parents are capable of supplementing enough to make sure their kids can read and know their times table.

After five years they say, “Screw this, I’m not teaching them algebra, too” and send them private.

The ones who care, that it....

This is a microcosm of California as a whole... the producers are heading for the exits, leaving behind the unproductive types. This is what the progressivist left has wanted, right? Now the teacher unions have a simpler, more mentally malleable core group of students to mold into perpetually needy, dependent sheep. The future of California couldn`t be brighter.

Thanks SmithL.
...the district was losing 40 percent of the advanced students as well as 28 percent of those who reached grade-level proficiency at an Oakland elementary school...
So, about seven, eight kids?

Apparently there are parents, even in Oakland, who want a quality education for their children. Bravo, and more power to 'em!
