Some Columbus City Schools families have decided to not cross the 'virtual picket line' and avoid having their students go to online learning.
President of the Ohio Federation of Teachers Melissa Cropper said having the remote option during a strike makes it easier for a school district to say school is happening, even if learning, per se, isn't.
Instead of logging into online classes, her two sons – a sixth grader at Medina Middle School and a fourth grader at Clinton Elementary School – will be out on the picket lines Wednesday morning.Hanes said she feels like the district has been bullying parents into making sure their kids attend virtual classes.
"We plan to spend the week talking and reading with our kids about the labor movement and unions with some visits to picket lines," said Chris Wood, of Beechwold."We have friends who are teachers, and thinking about what they're sacrificing and putting at risk, we agreed that not going to class is the sacrifice we can make."
