“CA K-12 school performance is a snapshot of CA’s future.”
People in most of the country don’t have a basement. But for those who do or at least know what a basement is, and those who look up the term on Wikipedia, that is what the above statement is referring to.
So, for parents in California who STILL put their kids on that big yellow bus, or drop them off - give them a big kiss and then be on your way, for when the ‘school day’ is over, you’ll have kids you don’t recognize and you’ll be wondering why you’re still in the USA, much less still in California.
For other parents, congrats, YOU GET IT.
I’m in CA and all 4 of my kids and my grand kids all went thru private school. I want the to stand out among a sea of mushy minds.
