Much higher teacher compensation shows reckless management of state resources. No wonder that Oregon ranks low in educational achievement metrics. This recklessness is a type of student abuse.  Less of Oregon's education dollars actually work their way to students. The only sensible response for Oregon legislators is to implement policies that unambiguously establish a corrective path that cannot be undone by special interests. We Oregonians should pay attention to our legislators' actions and hold them responsible in coming elections. This student abuse should be stopped.
