This, however if they truly are, and I suspect the large majority of them aren't, striking for better school room provisions, text books and bigger budgets then I'd support. It looks as if the few who are striking for the right reasons, the majority are just piling on and distorting the message by asking for higher wages when they already have more cushy jobs than half the work force and get paid well enough for it with extended breaks and all. Now if anyone has a proper reason to strike on for these reasons it's teachers in the UK and many countries in continental Europe. But as I said, the ones who are striking for better school room budgets should have their demands met and the rest, who have more than they need on that side of thing should get a salary cut for taking the time from childrens studies.

1. All of them are striking for better overall funding.
2. Cushy job? I assure you that there is nothing cushy about it. Where does this notion even come from?
3. Pay is only the extreme low end of Bachelor's degree salaries.
4. The breaks are not as extensive as you think they are. Do not equate student vacations/holidays with teacher vacation/holidays.
5. Teachers have to pay for classroom school supplies and their tax writeoffs were revoked thanks to Trump's tax plan.

Maybe they should try working at a factory or mine for a few months. Then I'd like them to go back to teaching and see them still complaining.
