Unlike the police or hospitals parents have alternative options to provide education to their children if an individual school board is facing a labour dispute. If schools were essential to the wellbeing of a child home schooling wouldn’t be allowed and one would think they would be open everyday, like all hospitals, police/fire departments, care homes, etc that are deemed essential. Are you suggesting schools should be open every single day for the welfare of children?
I won’t pretend to be able to read the mind of the author of that opinion piece so I can’t say with certainty what their motives are. Plus the article is behind a paywall.
