It may be comforting to assume that the consequences of this won't occur until far in the future, but California schools have been underfunded for many years already, and the effects are with us today. I live in San Francisco, where the school year has already been shortened by a week each year because of budget cuts. Many of our friends are moving (and in some cases taking their businesses with them) because of this.
