For national women's day

You had a good run, Alexandria.

Time to clean out. Cool to voice your opinions, but too far when you collectively decide to deny education.

Nice picture CNN chose to display in conjunction with this story...

Edit; Actually it is the still frame from a video.

At a real company this wouldn't have happened.

So all those women who took off will have to spend the day taking care of their kids because the schools are closed.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

What about the men in that district? I would not want to be forced to take a vacation day.

Newsflash: teachers hate your children as much as you do. Maybe more.

How am I supposed to celebrate National Women's Day? Getting my hair done? I didn't even know this was a thing.

Well, most of them are militant lesbian feminazis, so kids aren't really an issue....

Teachers deny education? LMFAO!

It's the last two generations of parents who think their little Johnny & Sue are super intelligent and they don't help their kids after school. They put the burden of raising little Johnny and Susie on the teachers. And when their kids don't turn out to be the rocket scientists they thought they thought they would be, instead of examining their parental skills and techniques, they raise hell and blame the teachers. And it's even worse in lower income school districts where the parents try to "put hands" on the teachers.

So now we are left with teachers who go into the profession making little money, having no authority to discipline the classroom (so we get the lower quality teachers).

The education problem in this country starts and ends at home and the parenting.

There are 1415 teachers in that school district. Let's assume 1200 are females (almost all grade school teachers are women). That means only 25% of the teachers in liberal Virginia are "celebrating" this shite. It's not as widespread as CNN would like you to think

That'll really show everybody that work as hard as men, by staying home for a day for a non existent holiday in a field already dominated by women that requires no physical work anyway.
