Arizona Teachers Strike By Calling In Sick To Avoid In-Person Classes During COVID-19 Crisis – By Anna Harnes (Inquisitr) / Dec 12 2020
Teachers in the state of Arizona are protesting in-person classes during the coronavirus pandemic by using a trick normally reserved for wayward students — calling in sick.
According to The New York Times, around 100 teachers did not show up to school on Friday as a way to combat continued in-school learning. The teachers all belonged the the Chandler Unified School District east of the state’s capital of Phoenix. The region has around 46,000 students in its jurisdiction.
The sick-out was instigated after officials announced their intention to continue in-class instruction in January. Arizona is currently battling record cases of the virus, which some educators fear could have consequences for both their own and their students’ health.
