school principals r fightin fer better pay & benefits, but the superintendant is just bein all like "okay cool, let's talk" 
while they're tryna stonewall their proposals. its so unfair! the union is offerin alternatives, but the district is just shuttin down the convo

... the superintendent just keeps saying he wants to support the district and its schools, but what does that even mean? are we gonna have to sacrifice our sanity and well-being on the altar of "supporting" the district? 
... and don't even get me started on the security measures 
... it feels like everyone is just trying to paper over the issues instead of actually tackling them head-on 
... i wish someone would just come out and say "listen, we're not gonna compromise on this" because right now it just feels like no one is willing to stand up for what they want 
... and meanwhile the students are getting left behind 
... no, wait, maybe that's not such a good idea... *scratches head* If they did, though, it'd be super effective in getting attention 
. Nah, the union's trying to play it cool by not threatening a strike, but secretly, I think they need to step up their game 
. At the same time, I'm all for negotiating and finding a middle ground... *pauses* Unless, of course, the district is being unreasonable, in which case, yeah, let's do this! 
Those Philly school principals are speaking truth to power and demanding better working conditions - I got love for that 
. But what's really interesting is how the community is rallying behind them 
. The idea of "youth courts" might sound weird at first, but think about it - it's a way to give young people agency and skills for life 
. Anyways, this whole strike situation is super fluid right now 
, so I'll keep an eye on it
