strikes aren't fun but more of them need to take place.
i started this school year on strike. it was tough but students, parents and many in the community were on our side. after two weeks the governor stepped in and the teachers/school employees won the day.
it is not hard to see that teachers and public schools are being used as scapegoats.
i find it hard to support obama for a second term because of his attitude toward teachers.
i will vote for him but only grudgingly.
