I really don't care about how you feel about what I'm doing You gave your opinion...people disagreed...I personally don’t know if there is a good way to go about getting teachers better pay...I can tell you if I worked in a school district where no one else was going to “walk out” I wouldn’t...the strength is in numbers...

I was ask why I didn't like it. I could really care less what the rest of you do. Just wondered what the general talk was in your buildings. some want to get pissy because I don't support a walkout

I agree of being a man of your word. On the flip side of that coin is if the bill goes through and it takes away step raises and it makes it to where if you move to another public school then your start out as a entry level teacher pay scale wise then they are forcing our hand. Strikes haven’t always been a bad thing or at least history has shown they haven’t been. Sometimes they are necessary.

I could care less and actually think your idea of striking at the beginning of the school year is a good idea.

My district has been really quiet on this

We have a BIG NUTS guy on here that claims he's going to school regardless. Yeah my contract is being honored so I will do the same. If my district closes duhh I'm not going to work. I'll go to the Capital if I get an appointment with my rep or sen, but I'm not standing out on the steps yelling like some hippie. If I go to the capital because my district closes I'll be back in time for track practice.

Ours has been quiet too. My only concern is that it isn’t well organized with goals not worth walking out over. I’m not walking out for a 5% raise. That will be a $2k a year raise for a teacher making $40k. $2k a year isn’t worth the headache and publicity. Don’t make the politicians look good for giving us scraps. Teachers haven’t gotten a raise in 13 years so if we walk out we better get all we can cause there won’t be another raise for 10-15 years. It’s sad that it takes something like this for people to take teachers seriously. Told my wife last night I don’t think teachers should get rich teaching but they should come out of college making a decent living. I have watched the quality of educators go down hill, in my short career, due to this. Unqualified educators everywhere with emergency certs because the few young people graduating with education degrees are smart enough to never start their careers in Oklahoma.

My question to those that plan to walkout... how far are you willing to take it if the state can’t/won’t give the teachers what they are requesting?

My question to those that plan to walkout... how far are you willing to take it if the state can’t/won’t give the teachers what they are requesting? hahaha! Asked my wife a similar question last night. OEA planned the walk out for April 23. My school district pays staff on or around the 25th of every month. We will see how long a strike will last when the teachers starting the strike is needing pay day! Lol

Me too Tony. Told my wife this morning screw the kids and parents...they should be made uncomfortable...if me and other educators struggling to pay bills isn’t their problem, then it isn’t my problem they have problems finding child care or having to take off work while we as educators do what’s best for us... This statement makes me think of a coaching job i had once. We were pretty good, but crappy school. I said once these Freshmen graduate I will leave, Well comes that time and now I am well I like this group of kids so I might stay. A coach mentor of mine told me, don't ever stay for the kids, that there will always be kids you don't want to leave, so you will always be saying after this kid graduates and you will never leave the place.

I think you are dense to what the strike will actually mean for you but whatever.
