You realize they aren't paid for that 1/4 year, right?
You claim to live here yet have no idea how the states housing market works or who is paying the taxes our government collects?
Everyone pays taxes.
Once again, you are listening to the racist right who lies about taxes. They tell you Blacks and Mexicans are lazy fucks who don't pay taxes so you hard working white men pay for them.
That's why you think only the wealthy pay taxes.
Why don't our politicians raise taxes even higher to pay teachers more?
pure ignorance.
Your premise is false.
So do people in Texas learn a different Algebra than people in Illinois? No, they learn the same algebra. What's being taught is the same no matter where you live...that's why it needs to be a federal standard.
You realize they aren't paid for that 1/4 year, right?
I didn't say they were. Arguing points that I haven't made is something you seem to have a penchant for.
No, I don't. I want public funding of education to entirely cease, and schooling to be the sole responsibility of parents. How they choose to accomplish that (or not) and pay for it is not my problem
Well that's not realistic. Grow up.
pure ignorance.
You mean it's not racism?
I wonder which political ideology was overrepresented in the effort to make "relaxed lending standards" not only possible, but mandatory in some cases.
It was the Conservatives because those standards were weakened beginning in 2004 when y'all controlled all three branches of government.
It's weird how California's stunning turn-around coincided pretty much exactly with the Democratic Party's takeover of all the levers of state government, including super-majorities in the legislature.
For some weird reason, this state was verging on a bankrupt banana republic-status when Republicans held the governership and were allowed to wield some power here.
We kicked their ass's out of office and never looked back.
They are a stain on this society.
Well that's not realistic. Grow up.
I told you want I want. Not what I'm likely to get.
If being realistic is important to you, perhaps you should solicit a second opinion of your own proposals before posting them.
Did you know that public school teachers as a group educate their own offspring privately in larger numbers than any other profession?
Is that the only factor, or even a primary one?
How do you propose "getting rid of "prop 13?
It's the primary one...possibly the only one.
To get rid of prop 13, you do what they did to pass it; let the voters decide.
We kicked their ass's out of office and never looked back.
"We" did that?
We do? Why
Because they're bad districts and good teachers will improve them.
What do mean by "bad ones", exactly?
Whatever the antithesis is of your "good ones".
And how would you propose to make such a reassignment acceptable to the personnel involved, should your scheme be implemented?
By offering greater incentives, just like you do when you want to recruit someone from a different firm in the private sector.
It's the primary one...possibly the only one.
Says who?
To get rid of prop 13, you do what they did to pass it; let the voters decide.
They already decided.
If you think it can be reversed with a referendum, go for it. DEMOCRATS 2018: Higher taxes!
Democrats controlled the state congress all through Arnold's time in office, no different than today. California relies heavily on personal income tax and cap gains from the top one percent. When the economy is good we boom, when it's not we suffer. You act like Arnold came in and tried to upend how the state was run when he did nothing of the sort. The economy is going to turn while Gavin is governor and Dems control state congress and California will suffer. Are you going to be saying the same thing then that you are now?
You do know we can goggle who was in control when Arnold was in office right?
I didn't say they were. Arguing points that I haven't made is something you seem to have a penchant for.
You said they had it "off", which would seem to indicate you think it's a paid break. If I have you pegged wrong, then I apologize. I was just taking your thought through to its most logical conclusion.
I told you want I want. Not what I'm likely to get.

So...you're here arguing you don't have to live in reality?
They already decided.
They did? When was Prop 13 repeal on the ballot?

That's what Democrats campaigned on in CA in 2012 and they won.
Because they're bad districts and good teachers will improve them.
How do you know what would happen?
What makes a district "bad"?
Whatever the antithesis is of your "good ones".
I didn't think you could articulate a reasonable response, and I was correct.
By offering greater incentives, just like you do when you want to recruit someone from a different firm in the private sector.
Really? How have such incentives worked in the past?
Who would be responsible for bearing the additional costs involved?
What if teachers don't want to move to a "bad" district?
They did? When was Prop 13 repeal on the ballot?
I don't recall saying Prop 13 repeal had been on the ballot. I told you that you think it can be reversed with a referendum to go for it.
Public school education, right?
That's what Democrats campaigned on in CA in 2012 and they won.
It is? Show me that slogan in a campaign ad.
