More than 9,000 students were absent from Portland schools on Monday. Nearly twice as many teacher substitute requests were made this year compared to the week before winter break in 2022.

Ugh, I supported the teachers, but the union fucked up negotiations (along with the school board) and now they’re not doing their best to make up the time?
It’s a giant black eye for the teachers union, right when we need unions more than any time in the last 100 years. They’ve lost a lot of support.
Seems like the parents are doing the same thing, or at least the kids are… “No, no, mom, it’s Christmas break…”
