no, they're afraid to do anything. in the common event that a lane needs to be closed on a 5 (yes, read 5) lane highway, then traffic will back up for 5 miles because people here lack the ability to merge. without exaggeration: i get flipped off an average of twice a week because i drive "too close" to people who are hanging in the left lane when they shouldn't be. i can't move away, i'm here for the cheap college. which brings me to my next point. why is the college education here so good but the high school education is a complete joke? half the kids i go to school with know hardly any math and their grasp on english is pretty laughable
thats because the people in Norcal can't drive...¬_¬ just don;t come to San Diego and expect the say thing.
it's all the mixicans fault... also the schooling for K-12 is top down, there is too much administrative overhang here sucking up funds. Did you know that over half of the state budget goes to education?
hey actually funny you mention that. i was in LA/san diego area a few weekends ago and I actually noted that people there are actually good drivers, especially in comparison to norcal drivers. it's funny
hey zelink can you elaborate on that a bit more? sounds interesting but i don't get what you mean really
It all depends on what part of California your living in really. I used to live in Sacramento for a good 10 years, until my family and I moved here to the Bay Area. I recently went back to Sacramento, out of curiosity, to see what happened to my old house, old neighborhood and basically where I grew up. The staying is true, you can't go home again. It was like driving into a dark cloud, literally. The minute my little sister and I hit sacramento, the sunshine was gone, and there was like this gloom that seemed to fill the air. The drivers where horrible. I can't even begin to tell you how many times someone almost hit us, because they didn't know how to merge, or the big rig that almost rear ended us. That was a defenite scare. The neighborhood itself, was the most ghettofied thing I ever seen, a movie set designer couldn't have done a better job. And it wasn't just my neighborhood, we drove around a few places, and it was all the same everywhere. We even decided to go to the mall, just to see what the residents where like. Its all trends, and over used trends. Needless to say, we drove two hours, to spend an hour and a half, and then drive two hours back to the Bay Area, where we had sunshine and aggressive, but knowledgable on how to merge drivers. So it really depends on what part of California your in. Its amazing how much of a difference there is between the three main parts of California. And I say three, because anything above Sacramento doesn't even really count as most people forget that parts even there.
there is a fair sized populous of people who do not have english as a first language and have parents who do not pay taxes. They cost more to educate, and inevitably produce lower test scores. as for the budget thing: last year the school budget was something like 48 billion, this year it is 50 billion. Teachers complain because it was "projected" to be 52 billion.
it matters what stuff your into. Im consitered norcal (SF) and i love it. Way north is just weed central, my cousins live up in Eureka. So if you smoke weed, you will love it
Norcal all the way biznatch where in the Bay Area? East Palo Alto??? by the mall do you mean the "Great Mall" in Milpitas or the "Valley Fair" next to Santana Row on Stevens Creek Blouvelard??? i live in Santa Cruz... all you kids come to surf here
