Lessons from the teachers strike

                Teacher’s strike in Chicago because of standardized testing. This is argument in the article stated that teacher striking should not be allowed because it harms the children. If the teachers can’t help the kids the way they need to then it is hurting the kids regardless. The writer gave the reason for that because when teachers rebel together not a lot of people support them. Individually teachers are great but together they are terrible stated the article.  The teachers strike against standardized test which they have a right because everyone is different and teachers are the same way. Teachers teach at different paces and when a school has standard tests it causes teachers to go beyond there set plans and even if the class as a whole is not getting a certain subjects.

                The teachers need to do whatever it takes to get the knowledge to the children and not care about their own problems but worry about those of the younger generation. That’s how schools should run their programs if that happened there would be no strikes and nothing to worry about but the care and importance of the children. Unfortunately for the schools they are greedy and have become selfish. That is a shame because if the schools really focus on their mission to improve the generation after them then there would be no such problems about standardized testing or strikes about money or benefits. It would change the world if education came first.
