Schools Can't Open If There Are No Teachers.....



Teachers should go on a nationwide strike.

Teachers will be at greatest risk if schools reopen. Can't reopen schools without teachers.

Trump doesn't care about the kids, the teachers or their families.

The only thing Trump cares about is his re- election and he's focused on juicing the economy before Nov.

Let's be honest with ourselves - this is what it's all about.

If they can read a bible, they'll be good enough to be day-care workers-- er, I mean teachers.

...if schools are open and they don't go to work, no pay.
Teachers are between a rock & a hard place, if schools fully reopen.
And, some teachers simply can't afford to go income free.

My former teachers unions would have something to say about this. NEA, CTA and SDEA need to weigh in.

My school district hired them when our teachers went on strike at the beginning of my sophomore year in high school.
