Just stop all benefits to illegals, and class room size will come down to where teachers can teach American kids, not be translators half the time.

If you want open borders Open up your home Prop your door wide open Welcome all who roam Pay for their food Don't forget healthcare Let them crowd your schools Till teachers are striking there … … … … … … … … …

Teachers striking everywhere For money, not the kids Kids happy, out of school Bad example, you teachers give Teaching kids to walk out If they don't get their way Some teachers never grew up Their tantrum on full display … … … … … … … … … …

Good for them and good for the students. Public schools and their teachers need adequate funding, period.

Never had a strike or had bunch of union hacks running our schools

Last comment with this strange long name... Has anyone seen that Mike Moore movie? It sold me. So, change the pay for a day, or better, the way, restructure, and lets move towards what is important in life. Relaxation, love, and kids, to me at least.

What’s wrong with the education of the 1940 to 1980 each grade had 2 teachers class sizes didn’t matter. They weren’t lazy and crying I’m over worked. Now it’s all about teacher unions

Issue is they win the strike but the money goes to the administration

Educators are paid too high, and have too much time on their hands

Maybe if there weren't so many illegal immigrants filling the classrooms their would be better conditions and some of the money that supports illegals could go to the schools. California has decided what kind of state it wants to be and now it must be willing to pay the price.

Sorry but California wants illegal immigrants ...guess what they makes bigger class sizes

We’re wasting all of our insanely high tax revenue on a high speed rail from nowhere and back instead. I live in Cali. This place is a joke.

If California would make it easier for good charter schools to exist in their state, class sizes would be way smaller. And also, they would be smaller if vouchers were given to the parents to decide for themselves where their kids should go.

Following L.A., Oakland teachers strike for smaller classes and better payKeith Brown, the Oakland union president, said teachers’ strikes in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the country energized Oakland teachers and showed them a path toward winning concessions he says are crucial to offering a strong public education. 'It's all about the kids.' Fire and jail every one of the coddled, underworked, overpaid, leftists.

Strike three: Oakland teachers set to walk out ThursdayUnion leaders say current salaries – which range between $47,000 and $84,000 depending on experience – are not enough for teachers to afford living in the Bay Area. May I suggest a “privilege tax” on all white people living in San Francisco? Perhaps 70% of their income. They would joyfully pay it. But California can afford sanctuary and healthcare for illegal aliens. In all honesty, you'd have to be insane to be a teacher in today's world. The lack of pay, the liberal policies limiting them, and the violent kids that they cannot contain. I have 2 daughters in college, both originally wanted to be teachers since childhood. Not anymore.

How Warren’s child-care plan could spark pay raises for all school teachersSen. Elizabeth Warren’s child care program is, on the surface, a plan to substantially boost the availability of quality, affordable child care. But a look at the details, even before it’s turned into an actual bill, show that it would also have a massive impact on teacher pay across the country, and impact state and local government finances.
