I am a big teacher fan.  Teachers do wonderful work and are our collective future.

Please, Everett and Mukilteo teachers, don't use the "it's for the kids" argument when you are among the highest paid teachers in the State.  That self-serving argument doesn't fly.

Go to Olympia and "educate" our legislators of your classroom need, where there are program funding deficits, and help them find the right answer. 

A strike threat is premature.  You are a huge influence on our children.  You can be a huge influence on our legislators, and the funding our children's education.
