These are literally teachers, the children aren’t made up. They are the students.

Are the children in the room with us right now?

Actually no, the kids are at home because their teachers walked out and the district screwed them.

So, just to be clear, you want worse conditions for both the kids AND the people tasked with keeping them safe or is it only the teachers who should have bad conditions? I just want to make sure I understand your position

I’m saying I want the legislature to give teachers unions alternative tools, and coerce districts in alternative ways, to get to an agreement, without forcing kids out of the class room.
