This Week: A fascinating new study of teacher strikes across America over the last two decades shows that strikes work to a) improve educator wages, b) improve working conditions like class sizes and support services, and c) increase overall education funding. And we've all heard it -- “I'm just not a math person” or “I can't do math.” Our collective problem with poor math identity remains not only pervasive, but is passed from generation to generation.

In late 2023, the Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) led a strike that lasted nearly a month, resulting in significant disruption to educational routines and extracurricular activities in Oregon. This strike, considered illegal under Oregon law, led to a lawsuit aimed at seeking compensation for affected families. Oregon law stipulates that public employees can only strike over mandatory subjects of bargaining. However, PAT's demands exceeded these subjects, suggesting an intent beyond mere negotiation for better wages or conditions, aiming for a broader change in educational policy.The consequences of the strike were severe: students lost learning opportunities, parents incurred additional childcare costs, and the daily routine of many families was disrupted. The legal actions initiated in response aim to address these disruptions and the broader implications of such strikes. While teacher strikes are illegal in many states, including Washington D.C. and 37 others, enforcement varies, with penalties ranging from fines to termination or even jail time.National teachers' unions have been criticized for politicizing their agendas, often going beyond traditional labor issues to advocate for broader social policies within schools and influencing local and state educational policies. This has led to a divide among teachers, with some choosing not to support their local unions.The broader debate around the legality and morality of teacher strikes hinges on the balance between protecting workers' rights and ensuring uninterrupted educational services for students. The use of strikes by teachers raises questions about the appropriate avenues for addressing grievances in the public sector, where the impact extends beyond the employees to affect students and the broader community. The concept of "law-fare," using legal strategies to address political or organizational challenges, emerges as a potential means of navigating these complex issues, aiming to redefine the boundaries and responsibilities of educational stakeholders within the legal framework.Support the Show.DONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

More than 24,000 students in two school districts in Clark County are having the start of school delayed as teacher strikes continue into a second week. http://tinyurl.com/4m2pbp7b #TheCenterSquareWashington #EvergreenSchoolDistrict #CamasSchoolDistrict #CamasEducationAssociation #EvergreenEducationAssociation #teachersstrike #students #VancouverWa #Camas #ClarkCountyWa #ClarkCountyNews #ClarkCountyToday

Dana's trending stories include calls for Sandra Bullock to lose her 'The Blind Side' Oscar over the Michael Oher controversy, the mother of a 6-year-old boy who shot a Virginia teacher has pleaded guilty to felony child neglect, and a celebrity's nanny fatally run over by an elderly woman at a car dealership.

High schools will be returning to their regular schedules from today with the teachers' union calling off industrial action. The PPTA agreed yesterday on the arbitration process for its pay dispute with the Ministry of Education, putting an immediate stop to their refusal to teach two year groups four days a week. One parent who's relieved by the news is Jono Skipwith. He started a petition to stop the strikes, collecting over three thousand signatures in less than two weeks. Jono Skipwith spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

A group of Waikato student leaders have written to the Ministry of Education calling for an immediate halt to industrial action that has seen them miss hours of learning. The Post Primary Teachers union and the Ministry of Education are locked in a bitter pay dispute and in the meantime union members are refusing to teach two year levels per day, four days a week until the end of term. And if its not settled soon, some classes could be out for term three too.More than 35 Waikato student leaders signed the letter, and they say others around the country offered their support today too. The students support the teachers' pay claim, but they feel stressed, are struggling to catch up the work and say they may not make NCEA deadlines.Year 13 student and spokesperson Anna Jago is the deputy head girl at Cambridge High School, and spoke to Lisa Owen.  

Students are calling on the Government to end teacher strikes. A group of Waikato school leaders have signed an open letter to the Education Minister. Secondary teachers are currently refusing to teach two year levels each day, four days a week for the rest for term. It comes after they refused their latest collective agreement offer. Hillcrest High Head Student Nico Bhula told Heather du Plessis Allan that they're on the teachers side. He says people are angry at the teachers, believing that it's their choice, but they believe the Government needs to come to the conversation and pay up.

Secondary school teachers are inspiring mass frustration over their plan to resume striking. These teachers voted to reject the Government's latest collective agreement offers. They're refusing to teach two levels each day, from Monday to Thursday over the next three weeks. Finance Minister Grant Robertson says the Government's latest offer makes 'significant progress' for teachers, and the primary teachers agreed to a similar deal. "Personally, I think an 11 percent average pay rise- and some teachers would get an 18 percent pay rise- plus a one-off payment of $5,000 for teachers represents, in the environment we're in, a really good offer."

So just as we have rolling strikes beginning this week in New Zealand, the UK has strikes going on too. Nurses and teachers. Today here more than 22,000 schools were disrupted with a mass walkout of Union members. And if you think our strikes are bad, this is the fifth time this year teachers in England have walked off the job demanding better pay and conditions. And it's raised the question here of who picks up the slack and looks after all these kids for parents who have to keep working and can't take the time off. There's a lot of debate here about what they're calling ‘Granny day-care' where grandparents are having to take over the caregiving. Some parents are saying it's too much for elderly grandparents who may have health issues or not be fit and able enough to suddenly be running round after small children all day. It can cause friction between families who're expecting too much from grandparents. Others are saying it's just not fair – it's free unpaid work, and many busy grandparents with full active lives of their own are having to donate time and energy to little ones above and beyond what counts as being grandparents. So the debate is on. The reality is, and similarly for us in New Zealand, many of these families don't have the resources or finances to cope with much more disruption, take time off work, or hire extra help. And that's before we get to the kids themselves who're facing yet more upheaval. I mean I was feeling terrible about dragging my daughter to London for work when the original plan was to drop her home from New York so she could start the term on time after the holidays, but with plans changing and us coming across to London sooner, she ended up being dragged with us so I had to write to the school and explain – because you need permission from the Dean to withdraw your child or have them off during term time. So I had to write a lengthy email to explain and I was feeling bad about that. But then I realised, between Anzac day, teacher only days, a scheduled half day off for parent teacher interviews and now the strikes all inside the timeframe we're away, she's hardly missing a thing. In fact it's probably more educational for her being here at this point. I do feel for teachers though. Have you been in a classroom lately? I mean yes they get a lot of time off as people point out, and it looks like they technically work shorter hours than most – but do they? The teachers I know are working long before school starts, and long after. They're marking on weekends, they're prepping themselves admin wise and they're dealing with a myriad of extracurricular stuff they have to be responsible for. All the social issues they have to deal with inside their classrooms, kids with issues that even ten years ago would not have been such a big deal. They've got absenteeism at record levels, kids missing out, new rules and regulations to stay on top of as curriculums and education standards keep changing. It's actually a huge toll on many very capable people. And they all get lumped into the same basket of course – the Union ones, the non-Union ones, the capable ones, the useless ones, so that doesn't help either. So I have sympathy for all sides. Kids facing disruption, teachers still having to battle the system, parents left picking up the pieces, and as they're pointing out here in the UK, all the grandparents getting roped into this for free childcare too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have your say on the issues discussed on Any Questions?

John, Jayne, Kerry and Paul talk about apartheid, capitalism's role in making lives miserable and teachers in the NEU fighting back.

To start with we're going to look at the latest announcement from teachers that they're taking strike action to force the Government's hand in their pay negotiations. It is the last thing that parents and kids need to hear. Primary school teachers have announced they too will be joining their secondary school teaching colleagues in strike action across the country. The press release from the NZEI said this is a combined work force of 50,000 people together, our voices will be loud. This is our opportunity to act collectively, to tell the Government that their offers are not good enough they must do better to show they value educators. We are strongest when we act collectively, make a plan with your colleagues about what you will do on strike day. Rallies and marches across the country have been planned for next Thursday. And sure, we are agreed that the conditions are far from ideal, that much more could be done to ensure that teachers are there and able to do the job that they love.  For many it is a job they love, but they're finding increasingly difficult to do. And I do have sympathy for them. Up to a point, but come on. Teacher only days school holidays, public holidays. The possibility of floods. Actual floods. The pandemic. Yes, preventing the spread of a virus is important. Yes, there's a chance that bad weather might turn into something more. Yes, teachers are valued. The work they do is important. All of these things are important. You know who's not important? The kids. That's the clear message I'm getting. Maybe I'm absolutely too one eyed to have any kind of perspective on this because one thing I am absolutely passionate about is that education gives children the chance to level the playing field.  There's justification for every single time schools have been closed. But in the order of priorities, the message that's been coming through loud and clear for the past five years is that young people simply do not rate and I despair. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nuances should not interfere with our public declaration of the Gospel. Daryl Crouch, pastor of Green Hill Church, asks about the cost of factions within Christianity.

It seems like every year we hear stories of teachers going on strike. It happens in Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, and many other cities, big and small. People often have strong feelings of support or frustration with teacher strikes. What about homeschool teachers? Do they ever go on strike? In this episode, we discuss the issues related to burnout, wanting to quit, or when a homeschool teacher just needs more of something (appreciation or purpose) to keep going.

Good morning!

Welcome to the first episode of Little Red School House!   This new podcast focuses on issues with our current education system and ways we can empower students, educators, and anyone who cares about education. Shouldn’t people be put before profits? Shouldn’t our children be educated to grow and learn instead of being treated like the means to the financial gain of those in power? If you agree with this so called “radical” and “revolutionary” perspective, you’ve come to the right place! Join educators Gord Milstone and John Battalion as they call out systemic problems and discuss how we can break down barriers in the educational system.   In this episode, we talk about examples of Capitalism negatively impacting education, the LAUSD teacher strike, and ways to change the system!   Check back soon to get info on our upcoming social media feeds. In the meantime please rate and review Little Red School House on iTunes. This will help increase our reach.   Special thanks to: Revolutionary Left Radio.

Harvard Professor Marty West talks about the wave of teacher strikes happening throughout the country and the complexities of teacher compensation that make it difficult to raise salaries.

The LA Teachers Strike: What happened? What were the teachers fighting for? How is this strike connected to larger struggles around labor and education in the US? How is this strike connected to education issues in Vermont?

It's Friday. Sam is on an island in the sun with 'Los Angeles Times' education reporter Sonali Kohli (@Sonali_Kohli) and 'Broken Record' podcast producer Justin Richmond (@JustJRichmond).

So to end the week some observations. I worry that the ongoing teacher’s strikes are going to go on forever. I am of the belief that the government has offered as much as it can and they are supportive of teachers. This is as good as it gets right now.  But I think the teachers have a massive chip on their shoulders after 15 years of change. I hope that after a bit more summer teachers will accept the offer by negotiating a second round in the short to middle term. Two parties standing around in deadlock helps no-one. I’ve been amused at the conclusion drawn from the 2000 overseas teachers that have applied to help with next years shortages. 2000 may have applied but are they any good?  315 have been assessed and just over 100 have started interview processes. But there’s no guarantee that any of these guys will be fit for purpose.   These guys could be losers that can’t get jobs in their own country, they could be slackers wanting a working holiday. It’s like we suddenly forgot how many new Kiwi teachers struggle to find jobs. With the pressures and demands and bureaucracy now placed on teachers, principals are reluctant to hire inexperienced newbies. And these imports despite their experience in their own countries will be inexperienced newbies. I have the feeling that the overseas teacher drive is a desperate measure being done for the optics. On the e-scooters, I was intrigued to hear the San Diego councilor this morning on Mike’s show. San Diego has the same problems we’ve experienced over the past week. Now this woman was a former High Cap venture capitalist and says the e-scooter business model is brilliant and they’re making loads of money. She wants them paying for infrastructure and community activities and all sorts. Now as best as I can determine Lime paid a massive $186 to the Christchurch City Council for the permit to make loads of money, injure our idiots and scare our elderly. Get the feeling you’re being ripped off? And finally congratulations to TJ Perenara for nabbing the starting halfback spot in this weekend’s Bledisloe. I’ve been waiting for this all year. TJs been on fire and with all our opponents choose the rush defense and physicality to beat us he’s the sort of halfback we need. This is no slur on Aaron Smith, it’s just that this is TJ’s time.  

20,000 North Carolina teachers took to the streets of Raleigh for what was billed as a march and rally against low wages and underfunded schools. It was neither. “My heart goes out to the teachers that did turn out for the rally. The problem is, the rally organizers have an anti-charter school agenda,” said North Carolina Association of Public Charter Schools’ Executive Dir. Rhonda Dillingham. North Carolina is the latest in a wave of coordinated efforts to engage charter school teachers to abandon their classrooms and their students under the façade of solidarity. This is the fifth in a series of walk-outs and sick-outs being encouraged by the National Education Association (NEA). In this Episode 21 of Reality Check, Jeanne Allen is joined by charter school advocates, Rhonda Dillingham and Pamela Blizzard, the founder of two highly innovative charter high schools to unpack the messaging and hidden union agenda.

Sixth episode of our half hour of debauchery and leftism. We discuss Stephon Clark, the continued Teacher Strikes, Roseanne, and the brewing Trade War.

Engineered, edited, and produced by Stephen Frank with theme music by Ruby Fulton and the Rhymes with Orchestra.

Are we on the cusp of a new wave of worker militancy? We talk to Rebecca Cohen and Shaun Richman about the victory of West Virginia teachers (and public sector workers) and the coming Oklahoma strike as they set a date to go the West Virginia way — at the same time that the Supreme Court is likely to further weaken public sector unions with the Janus v. AFSCME decision. Shaun and Rebecca talk about the possible unintended consequences that ruling could bring about. Then Dean of Boalt Law School (UC Berkeley) and constitutional scholar Erwin Chemerinsky joins us to untangle the Trump administration's lawsuit against the state of California over three state laws the California legislature has passed to ensure that the state isn't complicit with the Trump administration's use of ICE raids, detention, and deportation — which the state sees as unconstitutional and “un-American.”
