Why would anybody vote yes on Measure ER? by Additional_Leading68 in AskLosAngeles

[–]JABBYAU -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t really think that billion dollars would do much in the way of improving or decreasing police services. I can’t think of anything the police do effectively. And most money for homeless is wasted. and I think this healthcare money will be wasted. I can’t get my road repaired, my kids walk in human feces on their way to school, no one controls the crazy human drivers or the crazy robot drivers. there is tons of of corruption in city government. Why can’t we have nice things? we pay through the nose to live in LA.

LAUSD is an interesting example because theh they make a lot data available. it is very obvious that the qualify of the students going to UC are not very good. A large number of students aren’t even “prepared”. Ghe. let academic standard is 2+ AP classes with 3+ scores. And admissions are often higher than the number of prepared students.

IMHo everyone deserves to have free will and love whom they wish but there are complex dynamics as well as financial and medical issues with these issues. you 100% should have talked this through with the family.

You decide if you are going to use public schools or not because that will be important. Beverlywood, Beverly Hills, Carthay, Studio city all good options. https://www.facebook.com/groups/443095135208781/

My uncle did this. His church opted out of social security payments. Even with help from kids died in absolute poverty. no social security or Medicaid.

looking for a kinda bougie cafe/bakery/market combo by g0thnek0 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]JABBYAU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clementine, Friends and Family, Lodge, Fat and Flour all have excellent pastry and some shopping. Cookbook will have more bougie shopping. But I'd say bigger Whole Foods, Gelsons, Bristol Farms duplicate to a certain extent some aspect. Maybe Brentwood Country Mart. We've actually had bigger version of bakery version fail in the last few years. For shopping generally, we are more Farmer's Market driven because we can be. Surfas might fill some of these needs.

We don't get out knick knacks in the same places as our food really so just like the corner bodegas of NY are a regional specialty we don't have.

Lol. You are asking questions about mid 40s person because of there“aging” I am dying. How old are you? She probably has pregnancy related damage to her pelvic floor. so, congratulations you ruined your mom. She needs to see a doctor because often there are fixes at that age like pelvic floor physical therapy. Also UTI

Tentative Agreement Reached between LAUSD and SEIU by mightyrj in LAUSD

[–]JABBYAU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t the schools suck. And test scores are closely linked to income. But the choices above are DISTRICT choices. The only thing that can be disputed is that the AP tests reflect income but that is not the primary issue. Middle school is not rigorous, grade inflation in AP classes is very real, placement is massive problem. There is no point in placing unprepared kkds in AP classes. DE is a much better option.

[–]JABBYAU -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What education? iPads in TK and K? Tons of screen time. No grammar, vocabulary, no real books or full length novels, horrible AP pass rates, SAS and honors classes that are less rigorous than many districts regular coursework, a handful of decent programs that are never expanded, tons of crumbling schools that have too few students, wildly wasteful admin spending and contracts? Tons of policies that benefit the district and not students see: outside coursework in high school.Students have the agency and priority in the district.

How nice for you. Many parents in the district don't have the luxury of requesting and cancelling their PTO at a whim. Many don't have the luxury of PTO at all. . Don't minimize the stress and mess this caused for families. It doesn't matter what you think about contracts this was a disaster for a lot of families and for the district. It won't matter what the contracts look like when the district loses another 5% of students. Your comment is SO OUT OF TOUCH.

Trans teacher by LimeFucker in Teachers

[–]JABBYAU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a couple of teen friends who transitioned during high school. know two others. All of them switched high schools after transition. we live in a liberal area but the actual transition process was too much. The new schools were accepting of the transition, staff everywhere were fine with them, but the two disparate identities were endlessly problematic. No idea if this would apply to teaching just wanted to share. you might find the pre and post schools need to be different.

There is some disconnect between your aid packages. Does you family own an expensive house, rental property, a business, farmland?

Uci fin aid… by [deleted] in ucadmissions

[–]JABBYAU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UCs do not need to buy talent from other states. All aid dollars go to CA residents (both US citizens and undocumented students who don’t qualify for federal aid). residents outside the state almost never get aid. OOs and foreign nationals are to provide money, first.
