Who knows, maybe we’ll fuck around & pick up a few more seats & get a true progressive majority.

To write a lengthy article about a (hugely overstated) "teacher absentee crisis" and not talk to a single teacher currently working in Oregon schools is quite unfortunate. The framing here encourages people to pick sides instead of working together to solve any potential problem that might exist.
In and around Portland, teachers are missing more school than ever. Their bosses don't want to talk about it
It's not just students. Post-pandemic, teachers are also missing significantly more school days. Oregon has virtually no policies in place to counteract the trend.

Because of the hard work, engagement and unified stance of CCEA members, the county caved on a retroactive cost-of-living adjustment, something they said they would never do.

I'm no scholar of the Great Depression or the New Deal (nudge @rauchway.bsky.social), but my understanding is that "Do big obvious helpful things, and tell people about them" worked on a much poorer & less educated base & retained that base for decades, built with public works in wake of gilded age.

All teachers want is adequate funding, smaller class sizes to give our students the education they deserve and to not live paycheck to paycheck. We’d also appreciate people listening to us about what works in education instead of highly paid consultants and people who haven’t taught since pre-Covid.
