Jesus fuck. Sorry for the swearing. That is messed up. Let's say 80-100 teachers get to dictate what 3-4k people have to do that day because they don't want to work??? Must be nice. Not mad at you, but this legit gets me pretty angered.
Not sure if you've got the time or it's your jam, but get on the school board dude. That's totally 1,000% unacceptable. Given I believe you're in CA, that's literally millions of dollars in economic output completely fucked for the day by people that have 4 months of the year off. People that get paid above the median FAMILY income as an individual.
BA, you've pissed me off now. The fuck. I legit cannot compute teachers just taking a mental health day out of nowhere and fucking parents over like that. I won't do this, but would want to. I'd find all their addresses and punch them in the fucking face. I'm lol right now. Livid out loud.
Where the fuck is this country going?

Yeah, but notice for what? I'm pissed if we have a snow day which is a legit reason to cancel school. This is not legit in my world. Hence why I'm so shocked.
We literally had our hands on the trigger to move out to CA. It's lost/deleted now but I had a detailed spreadsheet of costs of living moving from IL to CA. It didn't make sense, but I've loved CA when I visit. I'm glad we didn't.
IL is flawed with Chicago in certain ways, but I can't imagine teachers just calling off school for mental health. Mental health is important, but what about all the kids and parents?? You're causing stress for so many more people. It boggles my mind and is hypocritical of the teachers to do that. Their mental health is more important than the 25 kids they teach and the 50 parents that now have to deal with it in one classroom? A profession that gets 4 months of the year off? Come on. Sickening.
For disclosure, we did have some notice but still…

This country is going the way every country goes that embraces feelings over facts. It’s super easy to manipulate such people into working against their own interests by giving them feelz reasons for doing so. According to a Quinnipiac poll, 70% of Americans are just fine with paying more for gasoline To “help Ukraine.”
FeelZ. Idiots.

Desantis Banned LGBTQ123CIA Trans Indoctrination in K-5 Florida Schools! Additionally, the law prohibits Schools from concealing information about LGBTQ123CIA Propaganda from Parents.
It's important to praise the righteous moves, not just curse the bogus blather:

Children almost never passed Covid infections in school, a study published Friday reveals.
In fall 2021, in four Massachusetts school districts with 18,000 children, researchers found 44 potential cases of in-school transmission.
You read that right.
18,000 students. 34 schools. Four months. And 44 Covid infections - including no infections of teachers or other staff members.
Throughout 2020 and 2021, as parents pressed with increasing urgency to reopen classrooms, teachers unions and Democratic politicians warned in-school Covid transmission would lead to waves of death. “Teachers are so worried about returning to school that they’re preparing wills,” CNN infamously wrote on July 16, 2020.
In reality, schools were among the safest possible places for students and teachers during Covid, this study suggests. ...
Too bad it comes far too late to matter to the kids in blue states who in some cases were denied over a year of in-person education.

NY teacher's union is trying to just give high school diplomas for stuff unrelated to actual learning.

The key years are grades 3 to 7. That is when the brain is developed and set to learn more abstract and complex subjects like algebra and physical science in 9th and 10th grades.
So 1st and 2nd grades can be neglected some, but the student needs to be on the right path of learning by 3rd grade.
And by 8th grade, essentially a well developed student is on autopilot as far as learning. They just need to be adequately challenged and instructed in school.

I thought it was some kind of sick joke but over the years "mental health" spread to so many private sectors to a level that now its is promoted to "mental health month". Its really creepy to see these signs around for a month long! This is clearly a scam to do a favor to unemployed grocery store workers (TM@WookieMan ;) acts as "therapists" ;)
At this rate, CA could potentially declare all residents are "mental patents" at some point!
Not sure if this scam spread to other states to loot them as well by labeling "mental health patents". Health scare industry is a full of scams.

Now the teachers unions have managed to also fuck over working parents. People with jobs are expected to quit them to stay home with the kids and homeschool them. Regardless of their budgets of course. The only thing that matters to the teachers is that they get to stay home and still get paid.
Now the LA Unified School District has authorized free daycare for teachers who are parents, so they have someplace other than home (which is where they will be) to send their rug rats so they won’t have to care for them while “teaching online” everyone else’s kids who don’t get free day care.
In my neighborhood there are several gyms which have opened as daycare/schools able to provide daycare for school aged kids with staff who can help the kids with their online lessons. This costs $155-200/week and goes until 3PM same as a regular school day. Working parents who can’t be home with their kids to help them are expected to shell out $650-800/month per kid to “educate” their kids while public schools we all pay for are shuttered because teachers are scared of Covid. But NOT too scared to send their own kids to day cares as long as the school district pays for that!
Fuck teachers unions. Seriously.

It’s in the article, buried:
“Teachers also will be provided with child care.”
