Reuters: A walkout by Arizona teachers demanding higher pay and school funding stretched to a fourth day on Tuesday as state lawmakers hashed out a budget package to end the latest in a string of statewide protests by U.S. educators.
Arizona’s protests have kept the vast majority of its 1.1 million school children out of classrooms since teachers walked off the job Thursday and school districts warned the walkout was likely to continue through Wednesday. It follows similar actions by teachers in West Virginia, Kentucky and Oklahoma that marked the first statewide U.S. teacher work stoppages since the 1990s - all in states where Republicans dominate the legislature.
