Do you think teachers should strike? Leave the classrooms and the students? Is it self centered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morally, it would depend on the issues - I assume it would be pay and working conditions, as typical. Government can always legislate them back to work if they so desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is their legal right to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vast majority of teachers are in the profession because they care deeply about their students and are doing their best to serve them. There are many places around the nation where teachers are greatly overworked and greatly underpaid. 2 hours ago, missmuffet said: Is it self centered?

Ego, pride and greed can come into the decision to strike. Who is more important? The teacher or the student? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our public school system is broke nation wide, kids legit would be far better off outside of school then in it. And that's actually not a bash on teachers...I know a great many teachers who are absolutely fantastic...but the system they're forced to teach in ties their hands.

The things I see being said about ALL public schools and what I see actually happening in them are not the same. Yes, there are some probems. There are problems with Christian schools as well. I would know. I taught in two of them. I would not strike as in leaving the premises. It has nothing to do with me being a Christian vs. not being one. It has to do with legalities. You all have no idea how hard it is to be a teacher and how hard it has been for decades. This isn't new. I did it for 32 years and loved it. Problems or not. You have to work through them.     1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are very welcome, but I have the advantage of seeing some amazing teachers up close. My wife is a teacher for preschool children with disabilities, my oldest daughter is a high school history teacher, and my youngest daughter is an elementary education major that is paying for most of her education by working as a substitute teacher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comments are based on what is in the local news not social media. There have been some terrible things taught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
