SPS has since removed this FAQ from its page. It also removed two questions relating to strikes.

[Meesh @SeaMeesh]

FAQ linked in the email @SeaPubSchools sent to families and staff AFTER they failed to return this evening and will not bargain tomorrow.

[Meesh @SeaMeesh]

Thank you to the families and community members supporting our educators and bargaining team!

@SeaPubSchools is not committed to negotiating every day. We are working w/o a contract and committed to a TA but SPS is running out the clock in days leading up to a strike. They can end this bargain if they were true to their word about their commitment to our kids & schools!

[Brontë @BronteNeel]

The District no-showed scheduled bargaining sessions today and now refuses to negotiate until Sunday:

Check out the email with bargaining updates for some strong moves from SEA clarifying special education proposals! #SEAstrong

[SamWitch @BoredInFlames]

I just learned that in Seattle Public Schools, PLCs used to be called Critical Friend Groups. I am ALL IN on bringing this language back! #SEAstrong

(JKJKJK this isn’t a settlement standard these thoughts do not represent SEA)

[SeattleEdAssoc @SeattleEdAssoc]

SPS families and community, join us tomorrow to hear first-hand from SEA educators what we're experiencing, what we're fighting for, and why. https://t.co/YvGrMah0dj

[Meesh @SeaMeesh]

Proud to be #SEAStrong and organizing to activate members at today’s @SeattleEdAssoc zone training meeting. Looking forward to tonight’s bargaining update. We stand together and in support of the bargaining team who is asking us to be ready to take action if needed!

Opinion | I Support Teachers and I Even Buy Them Those Mugs From Walgreens With Bath Salts in Them for Christmas

But I Draw the Line at Teachers Striking

If They Wanted a Salary They Could Live on, They Should Have Picked a Different Career in the First Place

[#yourdailyfred @yesthatteacher]

If teachers willingly shut down and walk out of their classrooms, people who have devoted their lives to the children in those rooms, trust and believe that they have VERY GOOD REASONS to do so. I know, because I’ve done it.

I stand with teachers in Columbus.

[nina @ninagrewrites]

it is draining to engage with people who think I���m arguing or personally attacking them every time I try to solve an issue or express my emotions. it creates mental exhaustion. if someone can’t tolerate you asking clarifying questions and sharing how you feel, keep your distance.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

That thread asking people how they would get out of homelessness if they only had $20 is literally people saying "I would simply just'" and then saying something that is literally impossible, unavailable, or has been made illegal by local city governments.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

To ask teachers to be on the front line of mass shootings, the front line of a pandemic, and the front line of the struggle against inequality all while underpaying them and systematically underfunding the education system is both cruel and a recipe for societal collapse.

Cops attacked an abortion rights protest in LA last night. Cops attacked a homeless camp in NYC today. They arrested climate scientists protesting last month. They arrested Amazon union organizers. No matter what you care about, cops are your enemy if you want a better world.

I was a Pro-Choice Escort outside of clinics when I was in high school and I've done it here and there since. Not enough, if I'm honest. It's basically making sure women get in and out safely and harassed as little as possible. Here's something I'll share... (con't)

[Ben Uticone @BenUticone]

@stevanzetti It's ironic that the people who lament the absence of parents in the home and the breakdown of the family are the same people who sneer at the notion that a person's first duty should be anything other than to cast themselves, body and soul, into the meat grinder of capitalism.
