Regina Norris: Silence is NOT Golden
"Waiting has gotten us nowhere. We are one bad election from Wisconsin. ALEC, which drives the anti-education, anti-middle class agenda in Wisconsin and other states, has pushed a lot of legislation and recent unsound education policies in Oregon. These troubles will not blow over. They must be confronted." Join the Strong Schools, Strong Oregon Day of Action!

High School Student Comment on Tests & Cut Days
Several local students spoke up at the OEIB community meeting in Pendleton: "90% of our grade is based on tests, and 10% is homework. With the cut days we don't feel like we're consuming the information. We feel like we're just being thrown information and we don't have time to learn it." About OEIB, the local meetings, and what OEA advocates: oregoned.org/oeib
