Adriann Wrice -West Virginia Teachers on Strike

https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/03/04/us/west-virginia-teachers-strike-day-8/index.html
The West Virginia teachers will strike for an 8th day after legislators didn’t meet their demands for higher pay and better benefits. In the article written by Sarah Jorgensen and Ralph Ellis for CNN , it described how 50 counties had to shut down school because their were no teachers to teach. The teachers refuse to leave until they get their 5% raise.

This article is important for two reasons. First I believe it’s an important lesson to the kids to show them how to Stand up for the believe in but also I think it’s important that we realize that teachers are the future. Teachers give students the power of knowledge everyday. Without teachers ,geniuses like Albert Einstein wouldn’t have happneded. We should support these incredible people as much as we can. This is important to US history because in the founding of our country education was always a huge factor.
