Taught my kids how to read before the went to school. Anyhow how come they don't sue Whole Language, Common Core, No Child Left Behind, bi-lingual bi-cultural education, or the teachers union? Why sue the taxpayers?

They should start by giving the teachers literacy tests, but they won’t do that because they just want more money.

How can they not be reading? We’ve lowered standards and lowered standards and then lowered standards some more. After a while, when none of that worked, we lowered standards and lowered standards and even lowered them again.

How can they possibly not be reading?

I can always tell when a young customer service rep on the phone learned via “whole language.” They mangle my family name. It’s quite easy if you learned phonics. But very few can get it. And it really is not a challenging name — just two syllables.

But they speak Spanish better than Queen Isabella.

Government doesn’t tax us in order to offer public services, ie public schools. Government offers public services in order to levy taxs upon us. “We’re from the government and we’re here to help you!” What a bunch of hooey. Failure after failure after failure and taxes always go up.

Cal has the worst education system in the country. Mississippi does a better job. Liberals need to chew on that for awhile.

They probably can’t speak English either.

Thank you, Jerry Brown and the Democrats! Your teachers are not teaching children how to read! How screwed up is that? You spend the highest amount on Education, more than any state per child, and you can’t produce any results!

OK kids can't read.

Explain how giving lawyers money helps.

A group of prominent lawyers representing teachers and students from poor performing schools sued California on Tuesday, arguing that the state has done nothing about a high number of schoolchildren who do not know how to read.

That’s like a drunk suing the police for not stopping him from driving drunk.

Who is ultimately responsible for teaching students to read and on the other end who is responsible for learning to read?

The teachers in these under-performing schools are paid to teach. If they are failing in that task they should quit or be fired.

If the students want to learn to read who is stopping them? People have taught themselves to read for centuries. With the internet available almost everywhere it should not be that hard.

I bet these schools are getting more money per student than average from the state.

Only in California!

Strange, I thought it was parent(s) job to make sure their children could read...

Well, since California has taken it upon itself to spend taxpayer dollars to educate the children of Mexico, it might as well do a good job of it.

Suing on behalf of teachers? Can you sue if you are the cause or at least part of the cause of the problem?

But that’s what the dems in power in CA want! The last thing the dems want is to have educated subjects. Remember, slave owners didn’t allow their slaves to be educated, because that makes them ill suited to stay enslaved.

And the modern dem party is just keeping their tradition alive.
