Way to go, local man!

No child is going to learn anything of practical value at 7am… it’s tough enough getting my students going by 8:15am

Congrats!

All the best to your wife and her colleagues Joe! I was n strike for two months three years ago - it’s a hard row to hoe, but sometimes you have to draw a line.

Thanks, sir! To say it is an unnerving time around the ol' homestead is an understatement, given that I've been unemployed for 10 months and am now tapping into my 401k.

My wife is a second and third grade cross category special education teacher, and obviously union leadership is telling them to work to rule, and it's *killing* her because she's the kind of awesome teacher you hope your kids have and all the cool stuff she wants to post and use requires additional time to set up, which she can't do. But such is life.
