[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, what a stupid move by the union.  Voting to go on strike for two weeks.  What the heck were they thinking.[/quote]

"me me me"

Is that not obvious?

It's interesting that you say that.  While I do not support this move, I understand their position.  Teachers in America have been vilified by the right for decades now.  Teaching used to be a respected well paid career. Now, parents go to school board meetings to disparage them.  I hope teachers protest across the country.[/quote]

Strike -> anger at and a massive loss of goodwill towards teachers -> loss of respect and it becoming politically impossible to raise pay

Look at FCPS. They could not implement a step raise last year because the perceptions of teachers were so negative and parents believed teachers were responsible for virtual. They were only able to get a $1000 bonus, spread out.  And parents were angry and pushed back at that.

Striking does help how people perceive teachers. [/quote]
