California Government Schools Fail –Turn to Social Services/Away From Education By Stephen Frank on Feb 09, 2015 07:33 pm California government schools no longer have education as their first priority.

After this year, it will be as valuable as yesterdays newspaper. For years California and other State gives an “exit exam” to graduates before they get a diploma.
