In California, acording to AP, about 100,000 out of 450,000 high school seniors have not passed one of the sections on the high school exit exam. The "Govenator" put $40 mil in the budget for tutoring students next year. That's $400 per student that has not passed yet.

Think about it for a moment.

If on average we spent, lets say $6,000 per student per year for 12 years thats $72,000. After spending all that money more than 1 in 5 can not pass a 10th grade level test. On top of that some of those students have filed a class action suit against the board of education.

Heeelp!! I fell down a rabbit hole and have stepped through the looking glass.

P.S. - Just send money. Thanks
