Be lucky you and your children don't live under the San Diego Unified School District. So many radical changes have been made by superintendent Alan Bersin that has screwed over so many opportunities for so many children. His "Blue print for success" has lowered student AND teacher moral, and has just been used to raise test scores in an effort to further Bersin's political career. He's turned the students into mindless drones who'll know information but won't be able to think for themselves. His methods of teaching reading and math while discarding performing arts, sciences and other areas of education have made a mockery of the school system. Sure, the object was to raise the test scores of those at the bottom, but at the same time, these measures have lowered the performance of others who are already doing really well in school, creating a very unnecessary equilibrium. Ask any teacher in the district.
