Oregon Department of Education

Comparing school systems from where I came from vs Oregon, I'm very impressed with the school system here.

My experience teaching low income students has been both rewarding and depressing. Measure 5 was passed when I started my teaching career and for the 20 years since then issue of CLASS SIZE has NOT been addressed for low income students. Yes...students in wealthier school districts get class size relief because the PARENT groups pay for it.But who pays for it in low income districts???? NO ONE and so it continues....THIS IS AN EQUITY ISSUE. This needs to be fixed now! Students from low income homes have the RIGHT to experience classrooms that are comfortable, not crowded, not smelly...and to have EQUAL access to the teacher. Overcrowded classrooms mean that some students do not get equal time with the teacher. With your overzealous attention on TESTING....it is usually the higher performing poor kids who do NOT get as much teacher time because the teacher is required to focus on the low kids so that they can "pass the test." I am VERY disappointed in ALL state leaders involved in the educating of children!
