In March, the (only) school councilor had a presentation to the school board about how the school is preparing children in the district for the future.
There were graphs and numbers and percentages.
Talk of colleges visits on and off campus.
He said that Pacific University comes out several times a year to recruit.
So the next day,
I emailed the school to see how many colleges came to visit so far this year and they responded by telling me, that if I wanted to know, I would have to go look in the visitor's log book.
OK then.
I went to look in the book and there, in October, was a name - with the purpose - "college visit " - but did not list the college. It so happened the (only) school councilor walked in the office and I nicely asked him if he could tell me what college this recruiter came from and he looked at it and said to me, "No. I don't know."
Ok then.
The next college recruiter was listed as a visitor in November. He was from Heald College. That is a for-profit sort of business, healthcare, technology college.
OK then.
The third recruiter, who was there in December is the one I have decided was likely not a college recruiter. He was listed as, "MAC FB College Visit" and signed in at 7:30am. He did not sign out. School starts at 8:15am. So this, to me, is likely not a college recruiter.
I may not be a math whiz, but I do know right from wrong when I see it.
I carry this sign most school mornings for about 1/2 hour and walk up and down the sidewalk near the driveway into the school.
If you are in the neighborhood - come and walk with me!
