Schools Need More Money, Not Less
I am writing this letter as a concerned parent. Our California school system is falling apart right before our eyes. We keep hearing that our school system is terrible and that kids are graduating from school who can’t read.
Whose fault is this? The legislators in Sacramento, that’s who. Every time there is a budget cut, the school system is the one affected.
Kids cannot even take books home because each class has to use the same books. We, as parents, not only have to pay taxes, but now we also have to help pay for sports, supplies and other needs.
Sure, the schools get lottery money, but their budgets are cut by the amount of the lottery funds, so how is this helping our schools?
