One Oakland mother claims students have been out of school long enough and is leading a grassroots push to end the teachers strike.
Illegal sideshows in Keta Brown's East Oakland neighborhood Sobrante Park bother her, but it's the noise of a teacher strike and an eerie silence on school grounds that are keeping her up at night. She's calling families and driving from school to school to gauge how students and working parents are dealing with learning loss.
After attending school on Monday, Brown's 6th grade daughter has been home all week, uncomfortable crossing the picket line even though she wants raises for teachers. , a parent-run organization advocating for better public schools. "I don't know what you're going to do. But you guys need to figure out a way to work things out. My baby needs to be at school everyday," said Brown.
"Our kids need to get every last bit and ounce, and dosage of instruction that they can. They need it right now," said Brown.
