Ever since organized teachers worked against George W Bush?
They have incurred the wrath of Republican lawmakers around the country….
Increasingly?
Strikes could be coming ….
Kentucky teacher Hope Brown is featured on the cover of Time Magazine‘s late September issue saying “I have a master’s degree, 16 years of experience, work two extra jobs and donate blood plasma to pay the bills,” in an effort to highlight the issue of inadequate teacher pay.
Why it matters: Brown’s and other teacher’s statements in the issue show why teachers are willing to fight for better pay despite significant sacrifices in school time.
