SEIU is the union striking in the LA School district
Over 460,000 kids NOT in school-—out on streets.
The SEIU has what, the teachers’s aids, bus drivers and cafeteria workers? Parents should fill in until the strike is over. Kids who require aids will have to stay home. Kids should bring their lunches and stay home if they don’t have transportation and cannot walk.
California had the most aggressively unionized schools that I have ever seen. They created an adversarial relationship between the parents and teachers.
I have a liberal friend who is on some committee for the new high school in our district in WA. She keeps telling me that studies show that students do better in new schools, that new buildings create better schools. If that was true, the district where my daughter went to school on Orange County would have had the best schools in the country because they were all new. They were the worst and still on a downward trend.
