Day 11 of the strike...

I am getting seriously depressed over this whole thing! The media is making this strike to be all about money, which is far from the truth. I am tired of walking the picket line, when I should be with my students. I am also running low on my savings, with no source of income on the horizon. I am also tired of the media making the teachers and the DFT (Detroit Federation of Teachers) the "bad guys". We are fighting for what we believe to be in the best interest of our students, our CEO is looking to cut anywhere he can, often at the expense of our students.

I am off to the picket lines....

Karen,

I didn't realize you were going through this experience. I'm sorry you were separated from your students for so long.
