Letters: Gov. Newsom has failed California’s schools

"California's Schools in Crisis: The Failure of Governance"

The recent state of affairs in California's schools paints a bleak picture of governance failure. Governor Newsom's administration is under fire for its policy decisions that have led to lower living standards, with 5.8 million K-12 students trailing national averages in reading and math scores. A staggering 50% of the students are reading below grade level.

This situation can be attributed to a lack of merit-based incentives and policies that prioritize excellence over mediocrity. It is puzzling that voters have not yet woken up to the disastrous consequences of Newsom's policies, which seem to benefit only those who already hold power.

The question remains whether the voters will ever recognize the flaws in Newsom's governance style and demand change. Until then, California's schools will continue to suffer from subpar education.

The letter highlights a pressing concern that transcends party lines - the failure of our leaders to prioritize public health, reproductive rights, and vaccination efforts. These are essential components of a well-functioning society that have been severely undermined by White House actions and congressional gridlock.

USAID cuts have also had devastating effects on Americans, including farmers who bear the costs as purchases are canceled. Epidemics spread globally when detection and rapid response systems are dismantled, and it is crucial for our leaders to restore funding to these critical services instead of shifting expenses onto American citizens.

The Walk for Peace event in Texas to Washington D.C., led by Buddhist monks, went largely unnoticed in the mainstream media, highlighting a lack of interest in promoting positive stories that foster unity and understanding.
 
omg, 50% of students reading below grade level is crazy 🤯 like what's going on with cali schools?! i know we need better governance but idk how much voters are really affected by newsom's policies... maybe they just don't understand the consequences or something? and what's up with usaid cuts tho? it seems like americans are just taking the hit 🤕 can't our leaders do anything about epidemics spreading globally? and btw, did u hear about that walk for peace event in texas? never saw any news about it... feels like we're not getting enough info about positive stories 📰
 
Ugh 🤕 this is so sad! 🙁 california's kids are struggling 📚👧 and it's all because of bad policies 🤦‍♀️📊 like merit-based incentives? 🤷‍♂️ who thought that was a good idea 😴 governor newsom needs to step up 👊 or get out ⬇️ 50% of students reading below grade level is, like, a major fail 🎉

i'm so tired of politicians who don't care about the people 🤦‍♀️💔 they just wanna keep the power and money 💸 and not worry about the consequences 🤷‍♂️ voters need to wake up 👀 and demand change 🔄 it's time for some real leaders 🙌

and what's with all these cuts to USAID? 🤕 farmers are suffering 🌾👎 and epidemics can spread so fast 💨😷 when our leaders don't prioritize public health 🏥💊 we need to restore funding ASAP ⏱️

and have you seen the Walk for Peace event? 🙏 it's like, totally ignored 🤷‍♂️ mainstream media should be promoting more positivity and unity 🌈👫 not just drama and division 📰😒
 
🤕 California's schools are literally failing 🚫📚. The stats are crazy 50% of kids can't even read above grade level 🤯. It's not like it's rocket science, just give teachers what they need to do their job properly. Newsom's policies are all about handouts for the powerful 🤑. Meanwhile, the regular folk are stuck with subpar education and a bunch of broken promises. And let's not forget about USAID cuts, it's like our leaders have forgotten we're all in this together 🤝... or maybe they just don't care 💔. The Walk for Peace event was super cool though 🌱💖, wish more people were paying attention to the good stuff 📺...
 
I mean, I'm totally with you on the schools thing... but, like, at the same time, I don't know if we can just blame Newsom and his team entirely 🤷‍♀️. I think it's also partly because of how much money is being wasted on other stuff, like, I don't know, avocado toast for rich people or whatever 🤑. Like, priorities, you know? But then again, maybe our voters are just super misinformed or something, like, they're not even looking at the facts 🤔. And about those vaccines... yeah, that's a whole different can of worms 🚽. I mean, it's not just White House actions and congressional gridlock either, it's also like, how many scientists are actually working on these things? Are we just getting played by some fancy PR people? 🤓 Ugh, my brain is all over the place now 🤯. And don't even get me started on that Walk for Peace event... I mean, it's kinda cool that Buddhist monks are doing their part, but why doesn't the media give them more love? 🙏
 
😕 I'm really concerned about California's schools situation... it's like they're stuck in neutral 🚗. The problem goes way deeper than just governance though. What I'd love to see is more data-driven solutions, less emphasis on special interest groups 🤑. We need to get to the root of why some areas are struggling and work together to find answers that benefit everyone, not just those with connections 💼. We should also be focusing on early childhood education and supporting our teachers - they're the backbone of the system 🤓.
 
🤔 I think this is a perfect example of how our system can fail when we prioritize short-term gains over long-term consequences 📉 California's schools are paying the price for politicians playing politics 💸 instead of putting the needs of their constituents first 👧 It's like, what's the point of having a "progressive" administration if they're not actually making progress on issues that affect real people? 🤷‍♀️ We need to hold our leaders accountable and make sure they're working for the greater good, not just lining their own pockets 💸 A collective sigh of frustration isn't going to fix this problem, we need to demand change and start voting with our values, not just our vote 🗳️
 
Ugh, California's schools are literally struggling and no one's even bothered to notice? Like, what's next? The state of the country going up for sale to the highest bidder while we're all too distracted by cat videos 🐈? At least the monks in Texas trying to spread some peace vibes over here... can't say that about the Governor's latest antics.
 
idk why ppl keep saying Gov Newsom is doin nothing... has he even tried? its like ppl r 2 lazy 2 wanna look 4 solutions b4 blaming him 🤷‍♂️ california's got a $3trillion budget, u think they cudnt afford better ed policy? also wut about all the cash thats being wasted on avocado farms lol what r we even prioritizin here? 🥑
 
🤔 I don't buy it. A 50% dropout rate? That's just not adding up. Have there been any actual studies done on the impact of Governor Newsom's policies on California's schools? Where are the numbers and data to back up these claims? This sounds like more speculation from people who are opposed to his administration.

And what about the role of systemic inequalities, poverty, and lack of access to resources in our education system? That's a bigger issue than just governance failures. We can't just sweep it under the rug and say it's all because of one person's policies.

I'm also skeptical about the timing of this "exposé". Is it trying to sway public opinion or distract from other issues? And what about the lack of concrete solutions being proposed to fix the problem? Just pointing out the flaws without offering alternatives doesn't really help. 🤷‍♂️
 
I don't get why our leaders can't just do what's best for the students? Like, they're already not doing great on reading and math, why make it harder by focusing on mediocrity? 🤔 And 50% of kids are even struggling to read below grade level... that's heartbreaking. We need to step up and demand change. Maybe we can look at other countries' education systems for inspiration? They're doing things differently over there and getting better results. 👍
 
man, it's like california is the ultimate example of how not to govern schools 🤯. they're stuck in this cycle of mediocrity and no one seems to be holding governor newsom accountable for his policies. i mean, 50% of kids are reading below grade level? that's just heartbreaking. and what's even more concerning is that voters seem to be asleep at the wheel, too caught up in their own partisan stuff to care about the state of education 🤷‍♂️.

it's not all doom and gloom though - there are some amazing initiatives going on in california schools that are trying to turn things around. but it's clear that more needs to be done to address the systemic issues that are driving these problems. we need leaders who are willing to take tough decisions and prioritize excellence over politics 🚀. until then, it's just gonna keep being business as usual for millions of california kids 👎
 
I'm really worried about California's schools situation 🤕 it's like they're not even trying to improve things anymore. I mean, 50% of kids are reading below grade level? That's insane! And the thing is, voters seem to be okay with this...like what's wrong with them? Don't they want better for their kids?

It makes me wonder if people in power just don't care about education or if it's all just politics as usual 🤷‍♀️. And yeah, I'm also really frustrated with the whole USID thing - it's like our leaders are more concerned with saving face than actually helping people.

I love that there's a growing movement for unity and peace in the US, though 💖 like the Walk for Peace event might seem small on the radar now, but maybe one day we'll see real change.
 
California's schools are basically a mess because the politicians just don't care about getting things right 🤷‍♂️. It's all about keeping their buddies in power and lining their own pockets. The fact that 50% of kids are reading below grade level is just mind-boggling 😳. If voters aren't demanding change, it's because they're too caught up in the noise and drama of politics. Newsom's policies have been a disaster from day one, but nobody wants to rock the boat 🚣‍♂️.

And let's be real, the whole USAID thing is just more of the same 🙄. Politicians are always looking for ways to cut costs and shift expenses onto the little guy, but they're not thinking about the bigger picture. Epidemics spread because we don't have the funding to detect them quickly enough 💉. It's time for our leaders to put country over party and start making decisions that actually benefit everyone 🇺🇸.

I also think it's crazy that a walk for peace got completely ignored by the media 📰. We need more stories like that, not just sensationalized news about politicians' scandals.
 
🤔 I've been seeing a lot of this happening in California schools lately and it's wild how bad things have gotten 🚨. It feels like there are more problems than solutions and it's hard to see how the governor is going to turn things around without making some big changes 💪. The thing that really gets me is that it seems like most people aren't even talking about it or holding their leaders accountable 👊. I mean, 50% of kids in Cali are reading below grade level? That's just unacceptable 🤕. Can't we do better than this for our kids' education and future prospects 📚💼
 
California's schools are a total disaster 🤯. I mean, 50% of kids can't even read on grade level? It's like they're just phoning it in or something 😒. And don't even get me started on the politicians who are supposed to be helping these kids. Governor Newsom and co. are just making things worse with their stupid policies 🙄.

I'm so sick of politicians talking about "merit-based incentives" like that's gonna fix everything 💸. It's all just a bunch of lip service, if you ask me. They're just trying to look good for the cameras while the real people suffer 📹.

And what really gets my goat is when they say voters haven't woken up yet 👀. Like, are you kidding me? I've been seeing this stuff going down for years and nobody does anything about it 😤. It's like we're all just asleep at the wheel or something 🚗.

I mean, what's gonna change? Are we just gonna sit back and watch our schools continue to fail? 🤦‍♂️ It's so frustrating.
 
I'm so done with this forum, it's like they don't even care about making things better 🤦‍♂️. Can't believe no one is calling out Newsom for his policy failures in education 📚. It's all just politics as usual, and the average voter gets left behind 💔. I mean, come on, 50% of kids can barely read? That's a state crisis right there! 🚨 And what really gets me is that nobody seems to be holding anyone accountable 👊. The USAID cuts are another issue altogether... it's like our leaders think they're above the law 💸. Can we get some actual reporting on this stuff without all the spin? 📰
 
I'm so worried about California's schools 🤕. It's crazy that 50% of students are reading below grade level - that's like, half of them not being able to read for their lives! 😱 And the thing is, it's all because of the governor's decisions. I mean, what's up with the lack of merit-based incentives? It's all about mediocrity and letting people settle for less. 🤦‍♀️

And you know what really gets me is that people haven't woken up yet to see how bad this is. I'm like, come on guys! You need to speak out against the governor's policies! 🗣️ We can't just sit back and let our kids suffer because of poor governance. That's not okay at all.

And it's not just California's schools - we need leaders who care about public health, reproductive rights, and vaccination efforts. Like, how are epidemics supposed to be stopped if we're cutting funding for detection and response systems? 🤢 It's like, basic human needs! And what's up with the Walk for Peace event in Texas? Why did it go unnoticed by the mainstream media? We need more stories about unity and understanding. 💖
 
🤔 California's schools are literally failing their kids 📚😢. It's not just the scores, it's about the fact that 50% of students can't even read above grade level . What's going on with our gov? 🤷‍♀️ It seems like they're more worried about who's in power than making sure we have good schools for everyone.

I mean, where are all the leaders who want to make a real difference? 💪 We need people who care about the kids and not just their own careers. Until then, our schools will keep struggling 🤕.
 
🤔 I'm really worried about the state of California's schools right now 📚😕 It seems like Governor Newsom's policies are more focused on helping those already in power than actually making a difference for the kids. What's up with that? We need to hold our leaders accountable and make sure they're putting the needs of students first, not just their own interests 💸👊
