The teachers can still win this discussion by showing up for work, apologizing to the students and their parents, encouraging their democratic legislators to return to Wisconsin and fight for them, and taking their case to the voters. That would be the adult thing to do. If they do not do those things, they are going to lose and lose big. If they want to lie about being sick to go demonstrating, the "governator" should reduce their sick days next year by the number of days they miss during this strike. I think the people of Wisconsin are thinking right now the teachers are overpaid brats.
