re: Teachers in Ohio’s largest school district go on strike 2 days before start of classes

This was in Louisiana, and I'm an older millennial so this isn't in barefoot uphill both ways times, but recent enough most my teachers are still teaching or have moved to administration.

i started school in the late 80s so i'm probably in the same boat.

i was like WTF? y'all don't have AC? how do you live? then i was all "it's 90 degrees? GFY."

i grew up in West Texas so it was still in the 100s into September. different heat though. my school usually capped it at 80 and ran window units if it got too hot.

i'm a gaping vagina about heat, don't get me wrong.

my wife is a teacher and i'm somewhat sensitive to their issues, but i'm not overly in favor of most conditions they strike over.

the only time i've heard her complain in the last three years is about forcing people to wear masks, having to record lessons for people without covid that chose to stay home in 2020 or 2021, or making kids or herself have to stay home for 2nd hand exposures.
