Those who support and those who oppose: Parents disagree over support for teachers' strike Israel today

2022-06-21T20:35:55.178Z


The teachers' union's announcement did not surprise many, but did provoke various reactions among the public.


After the teachers' union announced tonight (Tuesday) that classes will not be held tomorrow across the country as part of the organization's tightening of sanctions, many parents have expressed their views on the issue.

Some expressed support for the strike, which was caused by teachers' low pay conditions, and others opposed it.

The strike is conclusive proof that the body representing the educational staff in Israel can close the door and turn off the light.

Once again, for the millionth time, negotiations on wage agreements have failed, only because of an inability to have an optimal dialogue, when there is no longer any meaning to a shutdown in light of the dissolution of the government, the teachers' union still decides to show who is bigger and informs all Israeli parents and students. Take another day off, before the big day off.

And look at this miracle, the teams also lost and hugely, because a significant agreement would no longer be signed, and the opportunity disappeared for her under a heavy cloud of change of government.

The parents lose from all directions, come on vacation with their tongues out, but the big losers are the children of us all.

Also the children of the educational staffs, also the children of the government officials.

In the last week of the end of the year many events, small and big joys, general rehearsals and many happy moments for the children - and all this was taken by Ms. Ben-David without thinking twice, without blinking.

They are transparent to her eyes, that much is clear.

They interest her like a garlic peel.

The King is naked, need not be a great sage to see the hard truth before our eyes.

My heart hopes for the rehabilitation of the man who will see the children, their pain.

Turn off the light and turn it on again, otherwise.

The strike - a call for awakening

The strike is a price I am willing to pay.

I think this strike is a call for awakening.

If it were possible to achieve something just in this country without breaking the tools, without stopping the routine of life, believe me the interns, the disabled, the police, the people who can not buy an apartment, all of these - would give up this celebration.

The strike is not a privilege, it is survival, which is why I, the mother of Hagar (7) and Eitan (3), support the right of teachers to strike.

Yes, it will cost me hours of work and yes, it will cost me restless children at home and yes, together it will cost me nerves, but I say - it will cost me.

It's a price I have to pay, even have to, for my child to get what he really needs.

What our children all need - quality teachers who will see them, among the dozens of students, and identify their needs.

Teachers who will not be preoccupied with finding a second job or at the end of the month because of degrading pay.

As a mom I am willing to absorb the price of the strike, even when it hurts my routine of life.

True, it hurts us about working hours, but for what and for whom do we go out to work in the first place, if not to take care of the best for our children?

It is the Treasury that is pushing the teachers to strike.

It has insane budget surpluses and zero deficits.

The state coffers are exploding, and there is certainly a possibility of increasing the education budget.

Let's be the back of teachers and kindergarteners, and we hope it will double their strength in their just struggle for a decent livelihood, to get out of survival in the profession.

For our children.

Because nothing is more important than them.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
