I think
teacher unions can serve an important role in the education of students.
I also support their right to strike under extreme circumstances.
I also believe that when they do strike, everyone loses.
Parents.
Teachers.
Politicians.
Every strike picks away at the trust people have in schools.
At the end of a strike, both sides will think they’ve won.
And both will be wrong.

When teachers strike and win, students, parents, educators, and communities win.
