Posh MTA Quarters, Cash-Poor Schools
* Re “New Math a Minus for Education,” Jan. 23.
It’s great that Scott Harris has pointed out the harsh differences in L.A. County school facilities and the MTA headquarters. I wonder if the later is a part of our sales tax money squandered by the same ineffectual, unsupervised people who have permitted the subway project to go to seed.
It’s interesting that our taxes in Los Angeles County are high compared with the rest of the country, and yet schools are now academically inferior to poor southern states. Those states find sufficient monies to build schools that are permanent structures rather than using temporary portable classrooms forever.
Both of these agencies would profit from a thorough Times investigation.
