SFSU tops nation in enrollment of international students

Lowell is in District 7, not District 4. Chu is calling for "legislation" to change SFUSD's enrollment process to factor in where you live as part of the process, but Chu doesn't even know that SFUSD already factors in address in the assignment process. Carmen Chu should read what the assignment system entails before trying to stir up angry parents in order to get elected to the seat she was appointed to by Newsom.

This article dosen't surprise me, In King George County this last year after the SOL's the sixth grade math teacher said she didn't want to teach anymore and she didn't. It was movies and goof off for a several more weeks until school was out. In fact I can't even figure out what the sixth graders did to get grades the last few weeks of school after the SOL tests. Because I saw no homework or school work.

It's good to see that in times like these, people can put it together. It is a travesty that public schools have to turn to private enterprise just to keep up with where they are supposed to be with our tax dollars to begin with. It really warms the heart to hear how people who care are standing up for the future of mankind.

We see lots of cuts in education but what about California prisons? Are they laying off any prison guards? Let's see lack of education means less people qualified to find good jobs means more criminals means more prison guards.

If the Revolutionaries in the government would have respected the will of, "We the People" and enacted Proposition 187 we may have avoided these problems.

Student truancy is not always caused by the parents/family. Our family is not near homeless, not divorced or any other social reasons that may be common. My daughter began skipping her classes and when I found out and asked her why, she said "because it doesn't matter to anyone at school." She did it because it was easy and she wasn't being called on it. Since then, her school has a new attendance/tardy policy and whenever a student misses even one class, an automated system calls home and leaves a message to that fact. After coming home 3 days in a row and hearing that she was being reported, she realized that someone did care and that it was no longer going to be "easy" to get away with. During the past 3 weeks we have not had 1 call. While in some cases the family life may be the problem, the school administrators need to have procedures in place to combat the problem as well. I'm sure glad my daughter's school did!

I know Zach! I went to Shiloh, and I graduated along with him. I hope he and everyone else are doing well at North Carroll. The best of luck to him, and his future!
