I am beginning to realize this - atleast, my child in elementary school had teachers in the class all the time!

From these accounts and lawsuits, it seems that not all secondary school kids in California have teachers and appropriate classes to keep them engaged for the hours that they spend in school. The kid can as well go home and help out with chores to gain "inside work experience". What kind of an education system is that?

I can certainly see why there is a healthy market for expensive private schools in California.
