Strike News

I spent most of the afternoon out at the elementary school, and I can honestly say that there was no violence, cursing, or inappropriate behavior.

Most of the time, the teachers were trying to keep themselves entertained!

I walked around, got something to eat from the generous members of the community, talked to the teachers...it was almost like a picnic.

And at NO TIME did anyone yell when the kids were around. In fact, I don't even think the teachers yelled at the scabs. Most of the "action" I saw today was at the school where the district office is housed, and yes, the parents rallied, and yes, I got a little out of my head.

I'm not proud of my behavior, and I wish I hadn't done it. That's not me; I don't go around disrespecting those in authority. But that damn superintendent calls out the sheriff because we're "threatening" her. We were 50 feet away from the building!

I don't know how those teachers stand out on the lines all day. I'm wiped out!
