[QUOTE="DavidMcmillan, post: 3092002, member: 11749"] Teachers, like our military, first responders, etc., respond to a calling to improve our world. Yes, there are members of these groups that give a bad rap to the rest of the members. Not unlike those who misuse firearms do to most of us. Our state legislature has done a very poor job, for many years, of managing state finances. Oklahoma isn't unique in this. Look at all the stupid, low impact bills that get introduced each session, and then in the final couple of weeks they begin to discuss a budget, and once again teachers, and other state employees, are ignored. So why strike? Why during the school year? Because they must to get the attention not only of the legislature, but the general public. Just look at some of the opinions expressed on here. There are so many people who have NO idea of the seriousness of the issue. We have several teachers on this forum. The ones that I have met are super people, and I would gladly have my grandsons in their classes. I spent most of my career negotiating and managing union contracts, and generally have a low regard for union tactics, however, I SUPPORT THE TEACHER STRIKE! Give them the respect they deserve!
