I honestly can't fathom the problem here. Whatever happened to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly? Isn't it legal still? At least when it's for a good cause.
The teachers of the Chicago public school system were striking to get better pay and work environments. In all honesty, I'm completely for it.
Teachers do not make much money to begin with. My mother is a teacher, I should know. With the income that is made, we barely have enough to make it through, which is quite crazy in my opinion, After all, you need to attend school to learn how to read, write, and train to be able to do any other job that you want to do, so why are teachers paid the least?
Of course, even though I was rooting for it, there were some thing that I was against.
The Chicago teachers also wanted "Job Security" which means that they cannot be easily fired if their students are not learning the way that they're supposed to do. For that reason, I'm not so sure if their protesting is valid. If a teacher is not doing their job correctly, then he/she should not be teaching anymore, no questions asked! Obviously, they should not earn the money that they think that they deserve.
I just believe that they shouldn't have asked for too much, but something does need to change, That is why I agreed with the protest.
For those that believe that these teachers are selfish for doing what they did, I believe that you are wrong. The kids need teachers, and teachers need respect.
