Our schools are giving children terrible educations and they are using tax money to build a fiber network? That's ridiculous. |

@cox.net | You must have not followed the issue. The network is to be paid for with revenue bonds, not taxes. |

California schools may have gone to pot (no pun intended), but how can you judge schools in Louisiana? I worked with some sharp people from that state.
About California, when my niece moved to the Phoenix area of Arizona from just north of Los Angeles, she had to take remedial classes just to catch up. And some neighbors of mine moved from the Riverside area last fall and said about the same thing for their kids. And I thought Utah was bad when I moved here from Texas and my daughter was doing stuff she did the previous year in. I can see why you are griping.
So you should not judge other states on California's lack in order to support a view.

Of course it's the school's fault - sorry to hijack thread but why don't parents ever take any of the responsibility! |

So you think the kids will receive a much better education by throwing more money at the problem? |

the majority of schools on Lafayette are on-line with an OC3 connection off the existing central fiber ring. Does your town have that? |

the problem with education goes much deeper than the 30 second spot that blames the schools. but that's another issue. |
