That’s basically the union fight over LAUSDs charter plan. Families that give a rip will self select into the charters leaving those the don’t care, don’t know better or can’t self select into charters behind essentially leaving the non charter public LAUSD schools as juvenile detention without the court sentence

I disagree blogstar. Some succeeding is not indication of everyone else wasting, although many do. Herjovic and Cuban have both succeeded greatly, many others have not. Everyone else who hasn’t hasn’t wasted their opportunity, many have, many took a perceived safer path, and many just failed in the trying some because they didn’t have it and some because they just didn’t get a little bit of luck when they needed it

Sure some may waste it, but the system is all too willing to let them waste it. Really you want to blame the kid and parents when LAUSD gives them a graduation diploma and they can’t add three two digit numbers?
