Twitter is, at least, partially a platform for politicians to pretend like they actually give a flip. Like a non-stop stump speech for things that sound great but will never happen.

Any teacher who goes on strike during the school year should be fired.
-
If they went on strike during the weekend it wouldn't be much of a strike now would it lol. It is like you don't even understand how it works.
-
No, I understand how it works. Teacher strikes are little more than extortion.
-
You must think the baseball player strike was extortion lol
-
Swing and a miss.
-
And a Dodge... Good job not answering.
-

What other job would you willingly buy supplies for the client when your employer should be. Teachers should not have to pay for supplies for students that state/schools should be buying.

Teachers are Union members. The could care less about children! It's about the money and power as all Unions are. No Government Employee should be in a Union negotiating against the people that pay them; taxpayers. It's Communist and you know it. Even FDR wasn't this stupid.

N. City School System, budget is $42 mil with only 1750 students... ($24k per student). Seems like the problem is government bureaucracy and unfunded mandates, not money given to schools.

But here in New York where teacher salaries and per-pupil spending are well above the national average, the results aren’t impressive. Teacher pay is not a solution to education challenges. https://www.empirecenter.org/publications/nys-stratospheric-school-spending/ …

Why don't you share YOUR solutions with the nice people. Take your time. Be thoughtful. I'll wait.

When I was a kid, I remember my mom telling someone she was a teacher. That person responded with, "Oh, so you don't make very much [money]." That was 1976. So, you claim, you "hear [us]". When did that start? April 26, 2018? A tad post-facto. But, it sounds heroic, no?
