Yes for whatever good it would do. It's extortion, pure and simple to use our kids as pawns. With no proficiency requirements for H.S. Graduation in Oregon, who needs teachers? Wake up, put your kids in private school and give them a fighting chance in this ever changing world.

Teachers claim they are essential workers. Essential workers like police and fire cannot strike so that should include teachers.

Kids should always come first before greedy teachers!

I don't like blackmail tactics and that's exactly what teachers are doing when they strike. Do your striking in the summer when kids are not in school and you can't hold parents hostage.
