Like other public employees, teachers are widely believed to be living off the fat of the government. People assume they make great wages and get absurd benefits like paid time off, sick days, access to health care, payments into pension funds, and more. In fact, teachers don’t make the greatest wages, let alone benefits, which is one reason why they sometimes strike; to protect their jobs so that they can do their jobs better. The funny thing about being overworked and underpaid, you see, is that it’s harder to serve your students well. Teachers don’t strike because they’re greedy, but because they have concerns about their working conditions.
