Elementary school to join Occupy Oakland strike
The staff at Bridges Academy at Melrose sent a bilingual flier home to families, inviting them to join them in Wednesday’s general strike in support of Occupy Oakland — and informing them that teachers would not be in their classrooms that day.
They’re meeting at the East Oakland elementary school in the morning and traveling to Oakland City Hall together, by BART.
“We, the teachers at Bridges, are joining the Occupy Oakland protest on Wednesday, November 2. We will not be in our classrooms that day, all day,†the flier says. “We are the 99%!!â€

I'd personally keep my kid out of school that day.

BREAKING NEWS: #SEIU Local 1021, the biggest union in Oakland, just joined Wednesdays #GeneralStrike They're callin workers into the street!
Those teachers, however, are incredibly brave and will be teaching their students an invaluable lesson. I can't wait to see them all there. Today my daughter told me that she would join me. I am very happy.
What lesson would that be, dana? Teaching the kids of Oakland what corruption, and freeloading really looks like?

Outrageous and disgusting. I'm at the point where, when Obama starts bleating about "what about the teeeeachers?" I say "to hell with em."
They're not doing their damned job; anybody else would be summarily fired for blowing off work like this.

It would be ironic if the teachers could not get there because the BART employees decided to join the general strike too.

give me vouchers NOW!

Reason #42, 376 why the public school system sucks.

90% of teachers give the rest a bad name. The meme of "It's for the children" no longer works as it is really for the teachers and the teahcer don't give a crap about the children.

If the Oakland teachers go out, there is a 3:1 chance it will actually improve their students' test scores.

This is one time where keeping the kids home would improve thier situation by not having to listen to some little communist twinkle toed cocksucker that's trying to sign America's death warrant.

Remember it was the Oakland School Board that recognized "ebonics" as the legitimate native language of black Americans.

I know it won't happen but that would be a good opportunity to pull a Reagan on them. Fire all of them and hire some of the unemployed people with real college diplomas and real world work experiences. :lmao: You are fired! :rotf:

Hey, it's like a field day, right? Drugs, public urination, civil disobedience and gosh knows what else. I'd raise holy hell with that school.
