Funny how you equate protests with riots. The two are not the same.

Inaugural day. Your forget so quickly: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2017/01/20/inauguration-day-2017-washington-prepares-for-celebration-protests-and-donald-trump/?utm_term=.2bb4f7f85b39. 200 arrests and I understand all will be prosecutored for rioting and vandalism.

Please google black bloc. I pray you aren't a teacher. You are woefully ignorant.

I was going to post something asking about this. I have a lot of friends in RTP - Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Wake County schools are both closing Wednesday and Durham is evaluating. Chapel Hill/Carrboro were very clear in that they support their employees, but this is not an endorsement of the protest, they just realized that their operations would be too severely impacted if they tried to open. Not sure if FCPS has their head in the sand and are going to be screwed on Wednesday, or if they're scarred by the blowback when they close for a flake of snow or the wind, or this area is less activist, or what.

This sounds really stupid. A day without women? Has someone suggested getting rid of us? What on earth are we trying to prove?

Totally agree. Has anyone ever heard the term: "personal responsibility"?

I cannot think of a better way to discourage community from supporting raise in pay for teachers.

My DW and I are both in FCPS and neither one of us have heard anything about this in our schools.

I think it's different for professors in higher education to do this than K-12 teachers. I'm guessing this is a higher education teacher event, so I don't think FCPS will be impacted. I'm tired of all this protesting. How about voting in all elections, including mid-terms. How about not letting your anger about how Bernie was treated influence whether you go out and vote. I had a conversation recently with a woman complaining about Trump and his policies, and then happened to mention she voted for Johnson because she couldn't bring herself to vote for Hillary. Guess what? The election is over. All these grand marches and protests mean nothing.

I'm a teacher and I'll be in school. But comments like this disgust me. So so so tired of being told what I should sacrifice (pay for supplies for kids, classroom materials, work hours you will never know about, answer parent emails evenings and week-ends at the expense of taking care of my own family, etc etc etc) because "it's for the kids." If any person does work that benefits the community it's for the kids. All people who work for personal enrichment over community benefit are the people you can direct your insufferable finger wagging toward. I'm already working for the kids and I don't object to anyone who takes off to say: notice that if I'm not here, it makes a difference.
One day is not going to ruin anyone's education. #45's taken more time off since he's been in office than I have the whole school year. Tell me who worked harder this week. My lessons don't come by TelePrompTer and they're not written by someone else.
I'll be in school, but keep your missplaced self-righteousness away, please.

If you don't want restrictions on when you can take time off, don't get into teaching. You knew it was a part of the job when you took it. Also, what do you think will happen as a result of this protest? Higher pay, better benefits, more respect? All these protests are ridiculous. Let's hope no teachers lose their jobs like some of the poor immigrants who thought it was a good idea to not show up to work to protest. Where was all this sense of urgency prior to the election? Also, teachers get paid what they are paid because there is no quality control and administrators let incompetent or outright mean teacher who shouldn't be teaching kids stay in the classroom. When that changes, maybe I'll be more sympathetic.

Did you read the article, you dingbat? Answer me, are you a teacher and where do you teach? I need to be certain my child has no chance of having you as an educator. You are an idiot.

I'm not complaining about my job. I'm objecting to people who think women teachers owe more "because it's for the children." I've had to buy my own pens to fill out forms I was required to fill out because the school wouldn't give me any pens. I don't see schools full of men. Maybe these protests - and I will be in school on the 8th - do mean something. Why don't equal numbers of men go in to teaching? If you really understand the answer to that question, you would be bderstand why some women are choosing not to go to work that day.

Np- Oh dear! Did your social studies teacher say something mean to you? Well suck it up buttercup, and be a better student. The mean old teachers deserve some respect too.
