who pays for the teachers? the US government and states have no money , cut teachers, cut social benefits, cut the benefits that the people used to get. Many schools ask for parents’ donation in order to keep the teachers to work, otherwise they increase class size or wait for the little fund from government to improve their facilities. Even the trash, lot of new areas need to pay trash fee.

MR starting around 1982 in CA, because CA state couldn’t offer the heavy development. It is same for US government that cannot support the old-time quality services. If you want better services and quality of life, you need to pay, cannot rely on state or government.
