Getting teachers to leave their classrooms is huge; it's like moving a mountain. It is what makes it so easy to abuse the profession. They are willing to take it and take it for the sake of the kids.

So anytime you can convince teachers to strike, you know it's because they and their students are being seriously screwed.

Go teachers!
