Important to catch up on our childrens scholastic losses in our K-12 educational system, due to the Covid shut downs. We are behind and our students are in dire need of fundamental educational training or they will not be classically prepared to enter college in their futures.

Yes for whatever good it would do. It's extortion, pure and simple to use our kids as pawns. With no proficiency requirements for H.S. Graduation in Oregon, who needs teachers? Wake up, put your kids in private school and give them a fighting chance in this ever changing world.

Teachers claim they are essential workers. Essential workers like police and fire cannot strike so that should include teachers.

Steven Huillet

Kids should always come first before greedy teachers!

Teachers need to un-unionize themselves

Greedy!? Teacher make crap money to deal with your even crappier kids. They deserve way more money and if they need to strike, so be it.

I don't like blackmail tactics and that's exactly what teachers are doing when they strike. Do your striking in the summer when kids are not in school and you can't hold parents hostage.

You obviously don't understand the concept of striking. You must have been homeschooled.

Schools need to un-unionize themselves!

That's one of your most ignorant comments yet! Unions save lives. Stop kissing the @ss of corporate America.

Do you agree with the Bend-La Pine teacher transfer policy?

The teachers that are being transferred are part of the back bone of the school. This is one of the highest academic performing schools in the state of Oregon. The choice and timing of the transfers seems punitive and political.

This is SOOOO BOGUS!! Mr. Kissel and Mr. Maber were allowed to quietly "step down" and transfer to another district, thus allowing their respective resumes to stay intact. Ms. Green, Ms. Vickery, and Ms. Erikson were the victims of a HATCHET JOB and impossible to replace. SHAME ON THOSE GUYS!

This is SOOOO BOGUS! Mr. Kissel and Mr. Maber were "allowed to step down" from their respective positions, thus leaving their resumes more-or-less "intact". Ms. Green, Ms. Erikson, and Ms Vickery were the victims of a vindictive HATCHET JOB, and they will not be able to be replaced at Highland.
