The major I work at is also supporting people who need help with childcare (letting people work from home, extra days off, do what they can to accommodate, etc.) I guess it's just a little off putting to see all these people including myself championing the teachers only to get thrown under the bus with misinformation.
I agree. Rising tides raise all boats here. All my friends in O&G (who make much more than teachers) are 100% behind teachers.

I wouldn’t take getting thrown under the bus personally. I think there’s an argument that if we believe teachers are overpaid, many of us are overpaid, even those who make less than teachers, but that should not be contorted to argue that teachers or anyone else should be paid less.
