National Teacher Walkout

On March 14th, 2025 we educators make our presence known by making our absence felt! We fight for Pay, Purpose, and Protection! #nationalteacherwalkout

I think you’re really overestimating how much the average student listens to anything a teacher has to say.

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@SteveLeitz @eduleadership Oh we ABSOLUTELY DO. Most the time with that it would get push back because of a very vocal parent. Although in reality where we are we see the pendulum is swinging and kids are getting consequences. It takes time. It's hard finding balance between discipline and liberty.

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@awalmartparking No one does. We're all dead inside.

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@SteveLeitz @eduleadership We appreciate you not blaming us directly. You'd be surprised how many people truly believe we have I'll will towards anyone. We don't. We just want to make an honest, respected, and dignified living while doing our best for our students.

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@SteveLeitz @eduleadership Otherwise we'd have to assume that parents don't care about their childrens well being and teachers don't care about their students wellbeing and we would vehemently disagree with both. We believe both parents and teachers overwhelmingly want what's best for kids.

@SteveLeitz @eduleadership If anything it probably is a failure of engagement rather than the the parties themselves. Teachers fail to be engaged by their unions. School boards fail to engage their students and constituents.

@SteveLeitz @eduleadership Isn't any employment contract essentially "self fulfilling"? Would you expect a private sector consultant to negotiate their wage down for themselves? Isn't the condition of the final "product" incumbent on the employer not the employee? Again not sarcastic just dialoging.

@HowlandKate @TedCaseHill @eduleadership @KevinDaberkow ... Was because for the first time parents were forced to see how much of a struggle it was to be a teacher and they couldn't handle the stress.

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@HowlandKate @TedCaseHill @eduleadership @KevinDaberkow ... Than affluent and underfunded districts implying the issues stemmed well before the shutdown. 4) hindsight is 20/20 and you know damn well if covid was more lethal to students wed have the reverse blame. 5) the real reason parents were so upset...

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@HowlandKate @TedCaseHill @eduleadership @KevinDaberkow 1) if you think teachers had even 1% of a say in how any of that went down you are the one that "doesn't get it" 2) after Healthcare workers we were some of the first ones back in person 3) the divide during covid was much less pronounced between remote and non remote rather...

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@SteveLeitz @eduleadership Honest question, not being sarcastic, what do you mean "demands for money"? Demanding money for us teachers or from school districts?

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@HowlandKate @TedCaseHill @eduleadership @KevinDaberkow If you think the apathy wasn't there before the pandemic means you've been blind to these issues for a long time.

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@HowlandKate @TedCaseHill @eduleadership @KevinDaberkow .... Apathy is high because the heat in their building doesn't get over 50 degrees. Apathy is high because "this subject won't make you money". Apathy is high because their teachers are depressed and dismayed. Apathy is high because society doesn't value education or educators.

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@HowlandKate @TedCaseHill @eduleadership @KevinDaberkow Student apathy is high because there are thirty kids in every class and one teacher struggles to give them even 2 minutes of their time everyday. Apathy is high because learning for kids without resources in a painful and embarrassing experience. Apathy is high...

[National Teacher Walkout @TeacherWalkout]

@HowlandKate @TedCaseHill @eduleadership @KevinDaberkow ... Because they can't see the point of working towards a university they cant afford. Apathy is high because the teacher can't even provide paper for the students to do work on. Apathy is high because kids are worried about food and housing before homework and tests....
