School teachers walk out...

Today, there are several school districts teachers

 who have voted to walk out.  Some are taking

the high road and going to walk out the last day of

school for this years...

Should they have  walked yesterday? That is questionable.

Will those that walk out on the 12... the last day of

school.. will it matter as much?  I don't know the answer.

They aren't walking because of the district and wages.

They are walking because of the State of Washington

congress is not listening to them.  They want smaller

classes... better computers and etc.  So it isn't so much

about them personally, as it is for the kids.. this time.

As I watch on the news (even though we live in

Idaho.. we get our news from the Spokane stations,

so that means mostly Washington state news). I was

struck by the age of the teachers.  There were a few

young ones but the ones that were up front and

expressing their displeasure were the older ones..

which struck me kind of funny.. Funny ha ha that is.

Are these the same generation that walked in

protest marches of years past?  Like the 1970's?

When they were in college?  The sit downs and

etc.?

Also I wonder what is it this teaches the students?

That if you don't like what  your boss is doing, you

walk out as a group?  Now before I get attacked by

the union people..   I will say, I understand why

they are walking..  hope it works for them.. as this

time they are walking for the kids sake.
