I can’t be the only one who thinks that technology sucks.

What do you do to “contact your admin” when you don’t have one?

RANT: A beautiful story marred by facemasks

Meal time was extra challenging for this disabled first grader, so a lunch lady made him a custom ‘cafeteria cart’

6th grader Julian stands behind a metal cart with an Oregon license plate spelling his name

Cafeteria workers and school food professionals are often among a school’s unsung heroes, putting in long hours to prepare nutritious lunches, and even working over the summer to make sure their students are well-fed.

It’s a wonderful story when ordinary folks make life easier for a disabled child.

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), almost everyone is wearing facemasks when now we know that they are not only useless but actually harmful (i.e., bacterial pneumonia’ children need to see facial expressions).

What can one expect from the liberal socialist State of Oregon.

So sad.

Kudos and jeers all at the same time.
