in classrooms dedicated to providing public education to s suddenly find yourself the scapegoat for any possible problem that exists. and so i think that it is time that we have to shift some of the narrative and remind people that teachers are the front lines fighting for our schools and that the interests are not in any way counter posed. the starting point of even how i see the role of a teacher's union fighting for the educational justice is so ta that our working conditions are our student's learning conditions, and so the two go hand in and hand because i have a union is why we can have a classroom cap, and without that, there is nothing to prevent that. it is because we have some of the protections that we can advocate for the students, and i think that there is an incredible role that teachers unions can play in fighting for the interestses of the students and we are being attacked for all of the wrong reasons,
