It is common knowledge that there is a budget crisis befalling America at the moment, and in California this is especially true. A great, yet depressing, example of this is the L.A. school district’s plan to cut 5 days from this year’s school year and 7 from next year’s school year. While kids in America are already academically behind their companions in other countries, some of which have students attending classes 6 days a week and even have a grade 13, the schools are looking to make more budget cuts at the expense of the future generation of America. It would seem that education of children should be one of the top priorities of the government, not only in L.A., but across the country.
