and reminder that the opportunity cost of a few days’ strike is far outweighed by teachers being overworked to the bone without adequate compensation or psychological support, resulting in the best teachers weeding themselves out of the field altogether.

anti-union sentiment is hurting kids.

this is what is so heartbreaking! teachers are what we thought doctors were growing up. i don’t know one who isn’t so intensely passionate and loving towards their students and work.

and the despicable cost-cutting system recognizes that and decides to simply take advantage of it. “the most passionate individuals are willing to do the job for the least pay? easy business decision.”

and when yall manage to scrape together a union we’ll further blame student issues on teachers’ failures, and not school leadership’s failures to partake in collective bargaining, a process so well entrenched in society that most other industries are able to do it without even coming close to a strike.

sorry im worked up over this, don’t know if you could tell lol
