2nd Week of Bellevue Teacher's Strike

As predicted, the striking Bellevue teachers are obviously getting tired of walking the line. Very few smiles today, the pace is slower, more teachers sitting rather than walking and noticeably fewer teachers present (are some play hookey?).

According to some reports, many of the issues have been agreed upon, leaving dollars as the only issue. I suspect this was the case all along ...

My bet is that the teachers are realizing that it's more enjoyable to teach than to walk a picket line all day. I hope that they have figured out if they get their way, a good number of them will lose their jobs and have to find a new way.

I fully expect that Jackie Kennedy will finally have her first day of school this week.
