Nationwide teachers strike

in #informationwar7 years ago

Teachers across the U.S. are striking – demanding help as our educational system fails them and our students

75% of Oklahomans are supporting a strike by teachers who are demanding higher taxes on the rich to pay for public schools, whose students are majority non white - in a state that went 65% for Trump.

Educators today in Kentucky are gathering at their state capitol to protest for higher school funding.

In Texas, state law says that teachers could lose their teaching certificates and pensions if they go on strike...isn't it against the constitution?

By the way the whole idea that teachers shouldn't strike because it affect the students is ridiculous... So attending underfunded schools with exhausted teachers that work 2-6 jobs to afford to live, doesn't affect students? Or having uncertified teacher?

Sort:  

This is serious, I thought it was only in Nigeria that strike action take place. I feel the government isn't giving much priority to education. I have been hearing the word

children are the leaders of tomorrow.

I am still wondering when that tomorrow will come. Since my childhood its still those old leaders that are still in power, I am really tired of all this bad governance.

I'm happy to see that these teachers are starting to realize their own self-worth.

Yes,I totally support them!
