Public school teachers continue to insist that their jobs are non-essential
/Greenwich, Hartford, nationwide, the teachers say it’s truck drivers and grocery clerks who must serve, not them.
U.S.—Public school teachers gathered outside the schoolhouses of the nation this week, continuing to insist quite adamantly that their jobs are non-essential.
“We need to lockdown all non-essential work, like teaching, due to the coronavirus pandemic,” stated one teacher protesting outside her local elementary school. ….
“If you look at the graduation rates, standardized test scores, and the studies that indicate public schools aren’t preparing students for the real world, believe me, we’re not doing your child any favors,” she added.
Another teacher holding a sign which read ‘Don’t Make Us Work!’ quickly chimed in, “But we should still be paid until there is a vaccine. People are suffering in this crisis, essential workers and non-essential workers alike, and we all just need to get through this together. God bless our essential workers.”
“All we really do here is teach them to hate America”, GEA president and Social Studies teacher Carol Sutton admitted to FWIW. “Heck, they’ll learn that in college anyway – we’re just conditioning them, and any idiot on Twitter can do that.”
