At this point, with MCPS still open, those w/o leave who are stuck babysitting are indeed hurt.  They will not be able to teach, as it will be chaos b/c there's the chance there won't be enough subs.

Most subs are warm bodies.

I don't think you really get the effects.[/quote]

The effects of a one-day strike are[b] unlikely to be very big.[/b] Think of it as a snow day. We probably won't have any snow days this year anyway.[/quote]

Maybe not big for you and your wealthy friends and neighbors.

We are at a Title 1 school with lots of kids on FARMs.  No school means no meals often times.  In the summer, our local church (not mine, I'm not a churchgoer) does free meals so the kids have somewhere to go eat when school is out.

Ask those kids - they will tell you there is a big effect.  [/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to. My neighbors aren't wealthy. My friends probably aren't wealthy either, but I don't ask them. [b]No breakfast or lunch for one day is indeed a big effect for that one day. But it's not a big effect in the larger scheme of things.[/b] Again, think of it as a snow day.[/quote]

[b]What effect exactly do you see this 'day without women' will have?[/quote][/b]

Absolutely zero, except that it hurts the single and dual working income families who are struggling right now to find childcare.  It was thoughtless and self-indulgent and will have no impact whatsoever other than to bring disrespect to our local teachers (and so far it is just DVM, with one exception).  Like National Immigrants' Day there will be no impact except that some will find they return to no jobs, or, even worse, no respect.[/quote]
