What shoddy reporting is this? Why are teachers calling out, ?

How about reporting why they are angry, and calling them upset devalues their complaints.

Would you mind sharing what those changes are?

Exactly why school choice is necessary, vouchers where the dollars follow the kids.

Not sure what changes these teachers are upset about but they must realize this infuriates parents.

Time for school choice!

And the Douglas County School Board has vowed to post the names of all of the Colorado Springs teachers that called in sick. (Sarcasm)

Colorado Springs school district cancels high school classes after 30% of teachers participate in 'sick out'On Thursday night, Academy School District 20 in Colorado Springs announced it was canceling Friday's high school classes after nearly 30 percent of teachers 'called out sick' in protest. ASD20 says its elementary and middle schools will go forward as normally scheduled. Maybe that’s because these boards are politically affiliated/funded. AcademyD20 does not value educators because they believe the lies of the Church to Caucus. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Wow. What a great example teachers are setting for students. They don’t like something so they hold the children hostage by refusing to work. Should be penalties for this. Teachers stay home, get paid, kids lose out on education. There are better adult ways to handle this.
