Teachers are in schools to teach. They’re not there to babysit kids. Their job is to teach students.
If people need double incomes to afford their lives, and there is a labour dispute at schools that shuts them down and there is no one at home to care for kids, that is not a teacher’s problem. That is a parent’s problem.
Teachers are grossly underpaid and underestimated. We take advantage of their good will. We should be ashamed of ourselves.
