[quote=Anonymous]Ours isn't closed, but several teachers who are immigrants are out and school is covering through subs. The teachers sent out an email to parents explaining why and giving a brief blurb to share with kids about it. That seemed like an appropriate way to handle it and we are fine with that (though I didn't see email till after dropoff and wish it had come earlier). Obviously would not be possible with small operation where all teachers were involved, though. This isn't a strike, per se--it's just a protest intended to highlight where the immigrants are in your daily life and what life would be like without them. Unfortunately I agree that it's not super well thought out, though, because many immigrants, especially newer ones, are not in jobs where they can realistically participate. Curious to see what next month's "Day without a Woman" protest looks like since that's a group that is, generally, more empowered to take that time off.[/quote]
