Strike Free

The 790 strike has been averted and while I'm relieved, I must say that me and my coworkers were entirely ready to shut down our Elementary School.

The fact that the superintendent instructed families to send their children to school in the event of a strike was truly criminal. She knew that teachers wouldn't cross and schoolbuses wouldn't run. And although I was instructed to remain silent, I had conversations with parents and children about the impending strike and the safety issues that might arise if the staff honored the picket line. I am just glad it didn't have to reach that point...
