re: Washington Parish Teachers and staff went on Strike

You do realize that teachers are 9 month employees and most get 9 paychecks averaged out into 12 paychecks so they get paid every month. So their “3 months of vacation” isn’t paid. Trust me, nowadays they are vastly underpaid, dealing with some awful children, even more awful parents and then having to deal with the state bureaucracy that heaps even more work on them in an ever changing ( and not for the good) curriculum or “ teaching style”..
