    ". If you have a terrible trig or precalc teacher, you're going fail AP Calculus. If you have a terrible AP Caluclus teacher, you'll fail differential equations in college, and so forth."
    Nice straw man.

    ohh, making up number to fit your narrative, well done. Right their with the finest anti-vaccines, young earth creationist.

    " I had to enroll in a local community college class to get the education I didn't get from my middle school."
    So, now you're disproving your straw man?

    Pff, you can't even learn how to do an insert after 6 years of using ribbon, and we are suppose to believe you went to community college at 11?

    Voucher will just destroy the school system, and do NOTHING to improve education. It's all based on the myth the private education is better.
    As it turns out for the vast majority of cases, private school is worse then public schooling, unless you are going to an elite private school, say 40+grand a year.
    Even then it's hard to say if its the educational system, or just affluent parents leading to success.

    You want to improve the school system in CA? Get rid of prop 13.
    All the problem CA is facing were predicted when Prop 13 was in acted.
