That assertion has almost no bearing on reality at most public schools in Los Angeles. The author of that remark needs to be given quick tours of the Santee Learning Center and Panorama High School - multimillion dollar facilities that had to be built for the purpose of serving the offspring of the excess, unwanted population that arrived here from Latin America.
Needless to say, both institutions have abysmal graduation rates, even by LAUSD standards, and it is considered challenging even to get to and from school safely in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Dude, they are an expense, a considerable one in fact, when they are mostly wearhousing future single parents, convicts, welfare recipients and menial workers.
