Oklahoma Teachers Taking a Stand by Victoria Valdez

Teachers in Oklahoma have staged a walkout and are now at the state Capitol demanding higher pay and also funding to replace old textbooks and elective courses.  This have been going on for two weeks and so many teachers have walked out that the schools had to close for a day. Lawmakers are working on legislation to help fund the schools.

It is ridiculous that schools have such a lack of funding that teachers feel the need to walk out.  The teachers should truly be getting more pay and school supplies so they can teach today's youth effectively.  It's inexcusable that teachers have to worry about how they are going to pay their bills and also have supplies for their students.
