In reply to Dave M.

Discipline is good. Abuse is bad.
I hope your children are old enough to have escaped.

Visalia schools are racist and have ongoing and may I say SELF CREATED discipline problems and people want the same Supe?

Nice.

We complain about parents disciplining their children on one hand, (Juan Erambula for example,) and then blame the schools for their poor behavior and or academic performance. So which is it people?

The truth is that VUSD has been in a state of turmoil for a long time. Lord help the successor.

@karen, the entire valley, Visalia included, has had some of the others test scores in the nation for many generations. If you are alive and you are up here, includes your generation and your parents and grandparents

It has been about 20 years since the Linda Gonzales scandal. I can see that these board members either don’t recall it or don’t care. Low test scores have always been at Houston School. Nothing has changed. One thing that is parents do not make their kids mind, show respect to staff and other students. Perhaps the board should get a good dose of what is happening in the classroom. Also term limits. It’s not to be on their for life. I say recall the next group up for re-election.

I think it is despicable that Dr Oto took the blame for the children in the schools not trying and having mental health issues. The problem needs to be studied as to why the children of today are not disciplined and act out in school and elsewhere.We need to determine the cause. Parents should have more responsibity placed on them as many parents of today are afraid to discipline their own children. We are living in a very sad world.
