Is there anyone on this thread who’s old enough to remember what happened to schools when prop 13 passed?
I heard someone talk about what happened in his high school when this passed. He said the following year most of the after school programs were cancelled for lack of fund.
This thread made me look into prop 13 in more detail. Looks like negatives outweigh positives.
One more thing. I recently got to talk to a South Korean citizen about schools etc. He’s here for grad school and his son attends an elementary school. He told me he was so shocked to see cutting education budget was one of the first responses when the budget crisis hit CA. When the IMF crisis hit Asia and S Korea, govt and companies were cutting anything and everything. However even during that wrenching time, laying off teachers was never discussed. Not one teacher was laid off for budget reason.
I know the 2 nations have different make up of population and one has big illegal immigration problem but still something to think about.
