Teachers?
My dad taught for 30 years in an Oregon high school. This would not have amused him. I don’t think it would have surprised him, either.
Locally, they’re putting the finishing touches on the new junior high school. It was built as part of a big bond measure that the area can ill afford. I recall the Superintendent of the local school district arguing that the upgrades were needed to bring doctors into the area for our aging populace. Apparently doctors were put off by our out-dated educational facilities. Anecdotally, I ve heard that doctors don’t have a problem with the area. Their wives, however, can’t stand the place. There is a distinct lack of cultural refinement. Just no point in being a doctor’s wife here.
Sadly, we recently had a young doctor shot in the head in a home invasion. Waiting to see who the perps are. Homeless? Illegals? Locally educated? The suspense is killing me.
