I think this is a “contract” thing....and the Governor is doing the best he can within the terms of the contract. Also allows for suspension of those teachers who used fraudelent sick notes. Students also get to learn that there will be CONSEQUENCES.....20 min is NOT that much...
NO, 20 minutes isn’t that much ... our schools have done that several times to make up for extra snow days. BUT, in this case, except for the teachers’ walking out on the students as they did, those students wouldn’t have to spend an additional 20 minutes a day in class. So the kids are paying the consequences of the teachers’ actions. Somehow that doesn’t make sense to me.
I understand that the authorities (I think this is the Madison School District, not the gov) are trying to do the best they can. It is the teachers and their union who put them in this position..
And, I understand this IS Madison, so the kids were probably there protesting with the teachers. Most of the Madison parents probably are far to the left of any classroom teacher. So my sympathy is limited in that regard.
