Yes, although nothing he said wasn’t already said in this thread by teachers, some people need to talk to a person face to face about it. He did that instead of dropping ignorant comments and then disappearing which is better than what others are doing.

To be fair, teachers accepted a wage freeze under Notley. However, this was because working conditions under her were much more manageable and there was good will with the government.
Since then, inflation has been crazy, and working conditions got worse. The working conditions became worse because the booming population is strongly attributed to UCP’s “AB is calling” campaign, and then not building the infrastructure to support it. That plus bad will because they rammed a new and impossible curriculum through and imposing a million standardized assessments from K—3. Now elementary teachers have to teach a developmentally inappropriate curriculum to an overcapacitated classroom, with less instructional time due to the sheer amount of assessments that have to implement.
