Teachers of America, Do Not Quit, Get Fired!



Teachers of America: Do Not Quit, Get Fired!

In an article by Ohio Education Association Member Vance J. Lawman addressing the recent spate of viral public resignation of teachers from the profession, Lawman argues that if they want to change the education system, teachers should fight the system, and get fired instead of just walking away.

It has happened to me three times. In three different places. I am not perfect, but I had been doing my job. And then some. That cut no ice.

If anyone is yelling at you, you should immediately stop the conversation and leave. Record any yelling. I was a union president, and I wouldn't put up with any kind of disrespectful behavior from administrators towards our members. If you have a good union, they won't put up with that either.

This is why we MUST organize like minds into fighting forces at the local level.
