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.
