So much of these negotiations/strike talks have been focused on numbers - specifically, 1% or 2%. In reality, that’s not even the focus of what teachers are fighting for. In order to highlight why I am striking, I wanted to provide some other numbers that are meaningful to me.
3.5 - number of years I’ve been teaching in the same grade, same school
102 - number of students I’ve taught in these 3.5 years
6 - number of students I’ve taught with complex medical needs that I’ve been responsible for meeting while at school (epilepsy, diabetes)
5- number of epileptic seizures that have happened in my class
27 - number times a diabetic student has had their numbers drop below 4.0
