[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tihnk PPs are confusing the property tax rate (artificially low because of Prop 13) with the actual amount you have to pay (high because of high property values).

Schools in CA are wildly underfunded -- most "good" public schools require parents to pony up $1,000 or more to pay for music, art and sports.[/quote]

Oh for Pete's sake. Stop making things up. [/quote]

We lived in California 7 years ago

There were no art/music/language/PE/gifted teachers/strings in schools.

Our PE classes were led by parent volunteers.

Any art classes were led by parent volunteers. This was grade and class dependent, so one class might have art and another did not.  Any art supplies were donated by parents or the PTA.

They tested for GT services but if your kid qualified there were no GT services, just a letter.  They only tested the kids recommended by the teachers, and that number was small. In my kid's 3rd grade (4 classes) there were only 6 kids asked to test.

If your school did not have an active PTA or parents did not step up, then there was nothing extra for the kids.

This was considered a "good" northern California school district.  My kids attended 2 elementary schools in this district, one had active parents, the other did not.  The one that did not had nothing, not even parent led weekly PE.[/quote]
