As you probably know, our first day of school has been delayed due to a teacher's strike. So far we have six days of school to make up this year ... and the teachers have now been ordered back to work on Tuesday. Our district has declared Wednesday as the first day of school, but the teachers have yet to vote on whether or not they are actually going to obey the judge's orders and go back to work. We are all hoping there is a good offer on the table this weekend for them to accept!
Anyway, yesterday we decided to go out and show our support for our wonderful teachers on the picket line; as well as meet our new teachers for the year. It was wild - honking, screaming, and even a drunk driver that ended up hitting several cars in front of everyone while she was busy "flipping off" the teachers. I did refuse to participate in the "parents/students storm the admin. building" - that was just going too far for me! It was great to show the teachers that we are supporting them tho.
