Hermiston School District

Online school for children is not educational. My Kinder is currently receiving 1 hour of what I can only best describe as a digital representation of "learning". My third grader is struggling and feels like school is "hopeless"! We are not unique! This is how other children are feeling as well! I have coworkers and neighbors saying that "Well, this is just a lost year for everybody". How ridiculous is all of this!? We lost the Spring last school year. There was no summer school. Now our children are losing ANOTHER school year! When is enough...enough? This oppressive, dangerous and damaging practice has to stop. This hasn't just gone on for too long. This response should never have happened in the first place! There's a virus floating around. No doubt about it. It's a real thing! There are always viruses and bad people and diseases, and debilitative conditions and potentially awful circumstances awaiting us. This is the reality of the world we live in! It is our response to this specific virus that is unreal. It's our response that doesn't match reality. In fact, our response is so far from matching reality that it begs us to ask questions about political motives? This has to change for our children's futures! There's nothing wrong with any of the educators and staff in this school district. Most are undoubtedly honorable, good folks with good hearts and pure motives. But people need to wake up! It's already too late!

Just because they have really good teachers there and they are always on top of everything you know to make sure that the children are safe and that they get a good education but mostly I like to shake the cross guards hands as well because they deserve it due to the fact that they make sure that our children cross the street safely to and from school everyday without fail and they also make sure that nobody is going to bother them and for being such a small community unfortunately there is havoc and commotion going on as well as any other town or city state that you may live in has a tendency to be a little more aggressive in smaller towns because of the fact that the smaller towns are more congested with people which means more crime or not but most of the time it's unfortunate that it does exist and it's more recognizable and easier to catch up on because of being so small and so needless to say our kids have you know any kid where you go there's always going to be somebody that messes things up for people and you know I don't want to talk about anything negative but it's reality but those guard Street crossing guards who make sure that our children get across that street to and from school safely well they deserve a hand shake those ladies do cuz they're out there everyday and God bless them for taking care of our kids here in our state's in the US country and I think it's just a as important as it is for our troops and I think them and shake their hands as well on a military brat but they will put at stake and make sure that nothing happens to our kids so be sure to tell him thank you and shake their hand as well cuz they deserve it God bless
