    You havent looked into this - have you?

    They are not striking for more salary and benefits. They were *offered* 8 percent. Every news agency is painting the issues as evaluation and workday - not pay.

    Do try watching something other than Fox once in a while. The issue is that they are being evaluated on the basis of the students' test scores. But since test scores correlate highly with socioeconomic statues, that's quite unfair to teachers in inner city schools who have to compete with teachers in affluent suburbs.

    Would you like to be evaluated on something you have no control over?

    Everybody should be allowed to strike. Nobody has to care or give them what they want, but its a Constitutional right.
