Looks like we might be getting another teachers’ strike next fall.

Now that I am one of the unionized I suppose I should show some solidarity. Really, though, all I can think of is the benefits of a strike

• I can listen to the teachers chatting at the school across the street from me while I rake the leaves again
• My parking spot will not be taken over by soccer moms with SUVs come lunchtime - there’s a particular part of hell set aside for these moronic Stepford wives
• parents will finally understand the terrors teachers go through as they must now control their spawn 24/7

One thing I know I won’t do is sign up for any continuing ed courses at that time. Last fall, all night class instructors cancelled during the strike and postponed until after the strike.
