Good teachers should cross picket lines to teach kids
Fox News
Teachers unions need some way to keep the COVID mayhem going, so strikes are happening across America.
Teaching is a great vocation until the union folks get involved. Then it’s sheer misery. Karen Cuen is an elementary school teacher in Southern California and a member of the board of For Kids & Country.
But first a little context. Before COVID, teachers were actually expected to teach in order to earn their salaries. We taught, then we got paid. Good teachers worked extra hours at home and spent their own money for classroom supplies and rewards. During COVID, union bosses, for some mysterious reason, worked hard to keep schools closed, creating learning loss, isolation and depression among many children. Despite that, the education mafia kicked into high gear, using the pandemic as an excuse to flex their collective muscle and create as much mayhem as possible, all at the expense of our precious students.
Now that COVID is endemic and the "crisis" is over, the teachers unions need some way to keep the mayhem going. Strikes are the cause du jour, and they’re happening all over the country.
