Today is the first day of Teacher Appreciation Week, Google’s home page informs me.
Here’s what let’s do: clog social media with posts and memes, and lovebomb teacher organizations in the states where they’ve struck and won victories in the last couple of months.
Thank them for standing up for themselves and their students, and more than that for providing a much needed shot of inspiration to union members and other workers across the country.
Here are some email addresses (some of the walkout mobilizing sites seem to have become inactive).
