I beg your pardon? The public school system here is infamously disorganized, at least in Los Angeles. LAUSD is losing its budget, its rising star progressive teachers are being lost (to teachers who could never teach anyway, but remain due to tenure), and schools that are considered above-average are either charters or private. Mind you, LA is too big to have a single organized public school system; attention-whore-for-a-mayor Villaraigosa originally claimed in his campaign promises he would split LAUSD up into tinier districts, which it desperately needs - but he did not.
