We, Californians, flunked Education Overall, not even a Gentlemen's C but an F. Individual Subject Grades:

Mathematics : F= It is known that every dollar invested in Education returns $10 to the Econmy.

Political Science: F- Why can't they convince parents, relatives and friends of students that Education is good, necessary and worth the cost? An ideal way to avoid unemployment.

Economics : F= What kind of job will dropouts find without knowing Math, English, History, etc.? How will they fill their Income Tax Form 1040 and find out how much they "really" get paid? Will they pay someone to do it for them? Who might speak with an foreign English accent?

Statistics : F- Do they know how many Professional from, so-called, "Developing Countries" come here to work? Over, 120,000 per year, legally. And, companies take all the Visa in the first week they become available -and pay ¨political contributions¨trying to get even more this, and every year. They are not stupid, they want hires able to learn skills they require from Day One. They cannot afford to begin with ´Remedial English 101 and Remedial Math 101´.

Oracle Skills :F- Wish I could tell the rest, too disheartening. We are spiraling down, to what?

History :F- Do they know what happened to people that dropped out of school or fail at English, Math, etc.

Econmics :F= It is known that every dollar invested in Education returns $10 to the Econmy.
