I agree that the districts are all to willing to let them waste it. That just seems crazy. My family does use out of district schools, two boys in a charter and one in a non-charter language academy. Our local schools are o.k. though, pretty good actually, just not a best fit.

So what would you do to improve things, NSR, What would you do to avoid the detention camp scenario for a little kid with counterproductive caregivers stuck in LAUSD ?
