Teachers took a stand
I am sending this response (at right) to the Raeside comic you published on March 13 (which asked what teachers accomplished by going on strike for three days earlier this month).
I thought that the comic touched on a very real response to the teachers’ three-day withdrawal of services.
As a teacher myself, I have thought quite a bit about what the purpose was and what the effects might be.
I took the time to write down my thoughts, should you be interested in seeing how a real teacher would respond to the question, “What do you think you accomplished?”
