Teacher Strike/ Protest

We've been reading for a couple weeks about the big teacher strike and protest this Friday. So, since we don't work on Fridays anyway, we decided to go see what a teacher strike was all about. Such a foreign (literally!) idea to a couple of American teachers. We joked about the scene in Oceans Thirteen when the guy goes down to work in the dice factory and then ends up participating in the strike and yelling "You can't keep treating us this way!" We didn't actually yell or hold up signs, but we did walk alongside the teachers for 10 minutes or so to get a better idea of the experience.
