First off, I should admit my ignorance on this issue. Or, more precisely, the issues over which they planned the walkout....
But, I cant, for the life of me, understand how teachers can show their commitment by not showing up for work? Its a conundrum. I have asked some teachers and they just seem to yell the battle cry about "doing it for the kids" but how does getting a raise help a kid? I think many are as ignorant as I am but the pack mentality is alive and well.
We've heard from husbands of teachers (not a sexist comment bc of course guys can be teachers, too) and I admire them supporting their spouses...but what are the teachers missing a day of school to prove? Its an honest question....
