I love everything about this story and I'm so glad your girlfriend fought for herself.
I do want to correct one statement for the record. I teach in CA, and there is plenty of funding. The union bats around a 12,000 per kid number. With 40 kids in my classes, which is normal, that's 480,000 a year. I make $90k, $120k with pension contributions and bennies. Wheres the other $360k going?
But that's not the worst part. When you dig into the data, the number is more like $20k per kid.
Now think back to your public school experience and let the rage flow through you.
And even though they dont deserve it, I am apologizing on behalf of all of my colleagues and all of my fellow citizens of CA who let this happen to your girlfriend.
And just so anyone reading this comment knows, I'm actively working on gettng out because it makes me sick to be part of this system. I'm slowly developing an online school for parents who want their children instructed in liberty and truth and what it means to be free, both the benefits and the responsibilities of that gift with which we were born and that we must protect and preserve at all costs.
