As if LAUSD suffers a lack of funding… LOL. The classrooms lack funding LAUSD does not. Prop 13 will not serve as a useful excuse in this instance. Bad managers and executives can take the blame far more acurately. And since more money does not demonstrably assure better test scores, why bring up 13 at all?

Wrong emphasis. Test scores don’t measure much of anything.

What’s in bold doesn’t make sense, unless you’re arguing for bloated admin budgets, which I would agree with. But Prop 13-era school funding based in ADA affects issues such as class size, another measure of what makes a decent education.

Then, there are the cases where thanks to Prop 13, there isn’t a state budget at all…

Teabagger economics ruins everything in its path, including education.
