It’s an iron-clad rule. The more schools claim to do, the less they actually do.
The failed public school system has pushed for teachers with MAs and PhDs with monumental salaries. They’ve handed out laptops and tablets to every student. They’ve turned schools into massive welfare centers that offer everything except places where students learn basic skills.
Including free laundry. Why not.
The Anaheim Union High School District has launched a program to provide free laundry services to students and their families, aiming to remove basic barriers that can affect students’ success in school.
The district has designated up to $8,900 in funding for the effort, which will run through Dec. 31, though officials say it could be extended depending on student needs.
The program was inspired by a similar initiative in the Anaheim Elementary School District, which also offers laundry support to students and families.
The Anaheim Union District has a 48% high school graduation rate. The math proficiency rate is 29%.
Why aren’t most students graduating high school? Because they don’t have free laundry. And once every California school district adopts this program, next it’ll be free waffle irons, free WiFi routers, and free pet lemurs because there always needs to be some excuse and some reason to keep on spending money on the ‘free things’ that high property taxes are paying for, and the goal posts keep getting moved with the promise that this time there will finally be results.
$8,900? Whoah. That’s a hefty sum. I wonder how many de-caf soy Starsuck’s lattes that will buy the Anaheim Elementary School District board members?
Seriously though, we know it’s lining somebody’s purse. Yes, the males there carry purses too.
FWIW:
I’ve never had a cup of Starbucks in my life and never will. Despite the name, it’s dirt cheap coffee made with tap water, is loaded with sugar or with with a couple of scoops of ice cream in it and people pay a premium price for it. No thanks. My taste buds are too sophisticated to settle for “Industrial” coffee. with a cute name.
Starbucks? GTF outta here!!

Probably don’t speak English well. That was the covert aim of bilingual education, to keep the kids from learning English.
Maybe next they will just drop English from the curriculum and replace it with Advanced Laundry – plus the kids will need lots of time to do their laundry and dropping English will provide a time slot for Advanced Laundry.
I say why not just have them turn in their clothes every week and give them brand new clothes weekly. Washing all of those clothes wastes water which would be better diverted to the ocean.
Don’t give ’em ideas. … We’ll be funding $500 tennis shoesbefore it’s over …
(only for illiterates, illegals, and the insane, of course)
It’s to go along with the brainwashing they’re receiving in the public schools.
Brainwashing? No. Try brain bleaching! Have you ever really listened to some of those retards? Half of them don’t have the sense they were born with and that’s being kind!
“Free pet lemurs” – the sheer wit of Greenfield!
Free soma for everyone!
Every civilization has a people who produce its culture and history. Whatever education exists is that which its people value and therefore produce and reproduce.
This entire article is about people who do not fit the culture of the United States and the response of our educational system to their perceived needs: money and clean clothes. It doesn’t help that the educational system now reflects the grift of so many other agencies and departments of our state and federal governments.
This is terminal decline.
“This entire article is about people who do not fit the culture of the United States and the response of our educational system….”
What you’re not saying is that our “education system,” (if you can still call it that) is being dumbed down and distorted beyond it’s stated goal to fit the needs of the many (i.e., many cultures, languages dietary requirements, religions, economic status, etc.)
Our education system use to have standards but nowadays, not so much.
Good point KH. When do we hit bottom? What will it be like? Perhaps like the Middle Ages, with a vast poverty stricken mass of unwashed, ruled over by a few feudal overlords.
And rats. Lots of rats and pestilence.
Modern people don’t know what true suffering is.
The D-Bags do want feudalism back, though. As though it wasn’t brutal enough the first time.
And sewage running in the streets.
It used to be free lunch, because the kids were there over lunch time, and they’d feel left out if their buddies were eating and they weren’t. So school districts all over the country said “free lunch,” even though Milton Friedman said there was no such thing.
Then it was free breakfast, because teachers said the kids couldn’t stay away and diagnosed the problem as hunger. Solution: free breakfast.
But both programs resulted in so much good food being thrown in the trash that anybody with an eye to see and a brain to think began to wonder why were creating so much valuable waste.
Then it was free computers, because that’s the wave of the future.
And now it’s free laundry? What will our highly educated teachers and administrators think of next?
When in truth the real answer is a wooden ruler. Give one wooden ruler to every teacher, along with permission to use it to smack students who were not obeying or learning. And smack the again. It sure worked for the nuns at the catholic schools, but then the nuns were not graduates of expensive education departments. How the heck do they know anything?
When I was in elementary school, we had bomb drills – as though ducking under your desk would save us from a Russian nuclear bomb. We had to eat all our food because China was starving. We said the Lord’s Prayer and the pledge of allegiance. The paddle hung from a nail near the classroom doorway and was painted bright red with black letters spelling “FIRE.” Dual use – to paddle wayward students and to be raised by the teacher so the children could follow her out of the building for fire drills.
My public school would take once a month field trips to the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra for a special afternoon teaching performance — William Tell Overture, Swan Lake, etc. I walked safely home from school, told my mother about my day and ate a snack prepared by her. I then watched the old hand-drawn cartoons often featured real symphony music. Remember Bugs Bunny and the Rabbit of Seville?
We played outside until the street lights came on, and yearned for diversity because, you know, our lives were boring and incomplete. Before I would go to sleep, I would often read a library book that failed to tell me how awful I and my family were, but instead fed my brain with wholesome stories and the wonders of the world.
They used to march us kids to a tunnel by SF Bay.
I used to think my neighborhood was too unimportant for the Russkies to bother with. But when their satellite images became public I found they had 3 targets for nukes picked out with a mile of so of my house. That comes from being the biggest ship building area in the world during WW2 🙂
The schools are constantly trying to compensate for incompetent parents. Parents today are relying on the schools to do their job. These issues in schools today should be secured by the parents but we would rather throw money at the schools instead of holding the parents accountable. Federal money should have one contingent: if the kids are not graduating and educated, they shouldn’t receive a dime.
The same incompetent approach was made when California started enabling drug addict to continue their drug addictions without regard to their citizens. Instead of putting them in jail or rehab, they gave them public spaces that crowded out the daily activities of the tax paying citizens. California is the greatest enabler of drug addicts in the history of America.
California is the greatest example of corrupt and incompetent leadership. They keep electing duds that wouldn’t know accountability if it hit them in the face. This disaster will be exposed when Newsome commits to his candidacy for President. At the point he is fair game as the receipts of corruption will be made public. He will be evaluated by the public and fall short of competent leadership.
Anaheim has taken money laundering too literally.
From Paradise to Hell. I saw Anaheim in the 1950s, one of my most pleasant memories.
