Mass layoffs, larger class sizes, budget crisis...LAUSD better hope that all publicity is good publicity. I found out on Monday that we teachers weren't going to take any more of this injustice. We would have to tear ourselves from our students for one day to fight for our rights. We'd change the world with our violent picketing amidst long draughts of Starbucks coffee. What?! Miss a day of school for one hour of leisurely walking in a circle and a whole day off afterwards...fine. Sigh.
So when it was announced through the PA speakers that Friday's strike was cancelled, there were interesting interjections made by disappointed teachers throughout the school.
"But I made a dentist's appointment!"
"We were all going for breakfast afterwards!!!"
"I was going to have tea!"
