Updated:
We’re analyzing costs at other districts whose schools were also closed due to mass sick-outs by teachers. The chart below reflects about one third of the number of districts that closed. We will be updating the chart throughout the week.

So they get a few days off, with pay, to protest the people providing that pay. Wish I could do that. (Must be just another union 'benefit'.)

Union greed is not pretty. It is expensive though.

Remember folks that the four doctors involved in this criminal act are, in fact, state employees themselves.

Three teach at the state medical school and the final one teaches non-medical classes.

How about that/ One set of state employees telling lies to support another group of state employees? And the kicker is both groups are involved in education!

Setting a great example for the children ... fake notes from real doctors excusing teachers from skipping school, and all the while someone else pays for it.

In the world I was born into, if you could not trust doctors and teachers to toe a fairly straight and narrow moral and ethical line, then all was lost.

I guess we are in THAT world now.

Just what are Wisconsin Republicans waiting for? There
must be any number of bills they can pass, right now,
that would have the genuine support of the electorate.
Voter ID, restoration of the RKBA, aka Second Amenment.
I’m embarrassed I can’t think of more.

Here is my suggestion. Wisconsin Freepers ID the teachers at rallies on school days. Have the Governor’s staff cross check teachers with doctor’s notes who were abscent. Fire the ones who were at the rallies and provided a doctor’s note. You can’t be sick while out in the streets stealing from the taxpayer. Since the Dem senators won’t show start firing the worst of the lot.

I assume school systems will have to make up those missed school days. In June, when students are unhappy about having to go to school longer than expected, will it be ok if they just don’t show up? Will doctors be on hand to write “sick notes” for them?
