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.

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.

Big waste of money on a vanity project that does not benefit Americans. Money can be better spent on Healthcare, the homeless, housing, daycare, education..I could go on and on. This president is the biggest conman and grifter ever in history. He has already wasted & stolen billions of dollars.

When it proposed Trump said it was being built by private donors! Now Liar in Chief wants taxpayers to foot bill... Just another of many lies!

Illegal. No Congressional permission. No taxpayer approval. Unneeded. No his personal residence. WH belongs to the people, not the Kremlin look-a-like. Trump is not POTUS; he was constitutionally banned from office. He DID NOT WIN, because the Constitution says so. (14thA, section 3.)

The average American is being hurt by the rising gas and grocery prices and shouldn’t be expected to pay for an extravagant ballroom. The US doesn’t need to be spending money on luxuries like a ballroom, when it can’t pay its 28 TRILLION DOLLARS debt. The country is on the verge of bankruptcy!
