well, considering they striked for 7 days, effectively, for this year…they now only need to work an extra 3 days for 4% raise. They should have just striked for 10 days straight, then it would have left them in the same boat as last year and gotten the 4% raise… Fail….

In all seriousness, I think one of the reasons for strike was the decision to base evaluation of teachers on how well the students do academically. Which I have to disagree with that approach. You have a teacher stuck with a bunch of kids that aren’t high achievers, it’s not their fault. Evaluating effectiveness of a teacher is kinda subjective and a tough one, so I can understand why teachers would have such a big issue with such rules.
