Has the recall become another partisan battlefield? Once politics becomes the main curriculum in a school fight, students are usually the ones who lose.
What a disappointing article. If I didn't know better and only read your piece, I'd assume the initiative is driven some hidden rightwing agenda–– and that couldn't be futher from the truth. The recall organizers are simply a mix of parents who want better public schools. I'm impressed by the group's intelligence and integrity and disappointed that they were driven to this recall by a district that refused to listen to their concerns.
We moved here in the 90s in part because of the reputation of Corvallis schools, but nobody would say that now. Philomath has stopped accepting transfers from Corvallis students. Many parents with financial means now send their children to private schools and others are homeschooling. We're creating a two-tiered system of education here-- private schools for the privileged and public schools for everyone else. Is that what we want?
We didn’t take sides. And we are not right or left wing. Generally stay away from that. Merely written as an informative piece. I guess the point was that the recall, the board, etc… should be in the interest of the students, not politics. Note the last paragraph. Sorry if that disappoints, or reads different to you. Obviously not everyone can be pleased, and has an opinion. Thank you for reading though. We don’t want a two tiered system either, as it doesn’t seem fair to different income families.
