My internship has certainly been off to an interesting start... Though, I must say, I do not mind it at all. The strike has been an incredibly unique experience, though, of course, this experience has been entirely "from the outside looking in", as it is not my place to actually participate.
After one week of the strike and no resolution, you kind of have to be in awe of the gumption of those teachers, particularly after they declared the intent to remain on strike when the judge ordered them back. Of course, considering I am going to school to become a teacher, it concerns me that the legality of teachers striking in Washington State seems to be of some uncertainty, which makes me all the more interested in how this situation will turn out. But I've said it once and I'll say it again: good for them for doing what they need to do, especially when it's difficult.
That said... I miss those kids more than I thought I would!
