With covid and the governor lowering standards for graduation, a standardized test is necessary . We need better educated students and graduates.

I don't know if standardized tests are hurting a certain group of students, but I do know that socially promoting certain students who fail to learn basic life requirements, like balancing checkbooks, reading, etc., is doing them a big disservice. Bringing back civics, PE, tool shop is a good idea.

I go back & forth on this subject. With the standard set so low for students due to the pandemic. It seems scary to have children behind in the basics. I’m from Ventura, Ca since the early 90’s. Things in Oregon back then seemed way behind in the school system.

Dianne Price

They are passing kids that can barely read, do math or write!!

Matt Stickler

Absolutley especially important since lockdowns...our children's education has suffered, and we need to get back reading, writing, arithmetic and foster critical thinking once again.

Gabe West

Schools should have stayed open during the pandemic so yes I think standard testing is nessesary

I see kids riding them all over Redmond . North end near Elton middle school and around Rimrock. Someone’s going to be hurt .

Barb Burns

There are 3 in the Redmond dry canyon almost every night.

John Sutton

There here in redmond also. I've seen them by Fred Meyer and the shopping center next to the Redmond high school.

Yes, and they are being ridden by young people. They should be cited by the Police for not being street legal vehicles.

Abso-friggin'-lutely!!! Bs don't pay their fair share due to tax loopholes and because they mostly acquire their enormous wealth thru investments that are NOT taxed, like income is for us peons. They also can pass their wealth on to heirs and there is no inheritance tax either.
