EDITOR'S NOTE: This editorial Is the American Federation of
Teachers' reply to an editorial entitled "Against Strike", which ap¬
peared in Ihe September Z3th issue of The Dally Collegian.
Needed: More Teacher Strikes
By DAVID SELDEN
What American schools need most is more teacher strikes. Instead
of putting work stoppages by teachers ln the same category as martl-
clde and spitting on the flag, school board members and superin¬
tendents should b* delighted when they haveagroup of educators who
care enough about the schools and their own professional status to
lay their Jobs on the line lnorderto bring about Improvements.
By every standard of measurement-drop-out rate, reading retar¬
dation, overcrowding, teacher academic tralnlng-our schools have
failed to keep pace with the demands placed upon them. Yet year
after year, most of our school systems go along on a buslness-as-
usual basis.
And teachers, who have had first-hand knowledge of the neglect
of our educational enterprise, have gone along too, protesting weakly,
grumbling to each other ln teacher rest rooms—and all the while
"making do' with what they have been given to work with.
Think Of The Children
What is so terrible about a strike by teachers? The traditional
answer la, "Think of the children!* Yet It Is often more harmful to
down the schools tor a while. When New York City teachers were
criticized for striking ln April 1962, Charles Cogen, then the union
president, declared, "It Is better for a child to lose a few days or
weeks of schooling now than go through life handicapped by years of
Inferior education."
As a result of the one-day shutdown, *.13,000,000 was added to
the school budget. Most of the new money was used to expand direct
services to children.
Should our children be taught by spineless economic Illiterates
lacking enough professional commitment to Insist on decent school
buildings, classes of teachable size, proper Instructional materials,
teachers from the top of the graduating class Instead of the bottom?
Where the rlght-and the willingness-to strike exists, most dis¬
putes will be settled without an actual walkout. Both sides then have

festering contest of little meannesses between teachei

require more detailed discussion.
Teachers certainly have a rifihi to appeal a school bi

It Is time teachers were released from their conformist bondage.
Anyone who really worries about education ought to kick, prod,
cajole, wheedle, and exhort teachers to far greater militancy. When
teachers are willing to stop work rather than continue under sub¬
standard conditions, they will have gone a long way toward attaining
the professional status to which they have given lip service for so
