What My Students Wrote in a Free Write About the Strike

The Friday before the strike was anticipated to possibly start here in Chicago. I asked my students the simple question at the end of a quiz, “Should your teachers go on strike?”
Here is a sampling of their responses. This was a free write so I just typed what they had written.
“I Support my teachers cause they need more pay so they can help us get ready for the future” — Hakeem
“I honestly think you should go on strike. I don’t think it’s fair that you have to work longer hours without getting the pay y’all deserve. Even though we gonna be out of school and we gonna make up those days it’s fine.” — Chakira
“I really support the teachers for going on strike, because I think teachers should fight for their rights.” — Harvey
