Q: (CNN) After massive rallies in Oklahoma and Kentucky on Monday, teachers say they'll keep pressuring state legislators on their demands. 
  
 The wave of teacher protests in recent weeks shows that they've reached a "tipping point," said Lily Eskelsen Garcia, president of the National Education Association. 
  
 Here's where things stand after Monday's teachers' protests in Oklahoma and Kentucky. 
  
 What's ahead for Oklahoma 
  
 After teachers converged at their state capital on Monday, another day of walkouts is scheduled Tuesday. 
  
 The numbers may be smaller in the second day event as teachers from smaller, rural districts may not be able to take part. So far, there's no end to the walkout in sight. 
  
 The state's largest district, the Oklahoma City Public Schools, as well as the Tulsa districts have already called off school Tuesday. 
  
 Oklahoma teachers seek better pay and increased education funding. They say their classroom sizes are too big and that some don't even have enough textbooks for students. 
  
 But critics say teachers should be in the classroom and should not be walking off their jobs. 
  
 What Oklahoma teachers want vs. what they've gotten The Oklahoma teachers' union wants: $10,000 
  
 raises for teachers $5,000 
  
 raises for support staff, such as janitors and cafeteria workers $200 million in education funding What just got signed into law: Average teacher raises of $6,100 
  
 $1,250 raises for support staff 
  
 raises for support staff $50 million in education funding 
  
 Last week, Gov. Mary Fallin signed a bill that raises teachers' salaries by an average of $6,100. It also gives $1,250 raises for support staff and adds $50 million in education funding. 
  
 The state teachers' union has been demanding $10,000 raises for teachers; $5,000 raises for support staff; and $200 million in educational funding. 
  
 Fallin said she was proud to have signed the "largest teacher pay increase in Oklahoma's history." 
  
 "Just like Oklahoma families, we are only able to do what our budget allows," her statement said. 
  
 "We must be responsible not to neglect other areas of need in the state such as corrections and health and human services as we continue to consider additional education funding measures." 
  
 So the dispute remains: Will state leaders put more money into what teachers want or will teachers return to the classroom without any new concessions? Or will the two sides reach a compromise? 
  
 What's ahead for Kentucky 
  
 Meanwhile, Kentucky teachers are expected back in classrooms after Monday's rally. 
  
 Some teachers had walked out, prompting schools to close, while some of their colleagues were on spring break. 
  
 Thousands of Kentucky teachers rally at the state Capitol in Frankfort on Monday. 
  
 They marched on Monday, the final weekday of the Kentucky legislative session, to voice their frustrations over changes to their pensions. 
  
 Last week, state lawmakers tucked pension reforms into another bill about sewage and passed that bill. The controversial Senate Bill 151 has gone to Gov. Matt Bevin -- who supports changes to the state's pension. 
  
 Stephanie Winkler, president of the Kentucky Education Association, said that under the pension bill, new hires will have to use a hybrid cash balance plan, rather than a traditional pension, which will drive new teachers to leave the state.

 Aside from the pension issue, Kentucky teachers are also demanding more funding in the state budget to pay for textbooks, technology and school programs. 
  
 On Monday, both the state House and Senate passed budget and revenue bills that brings a 6.25% budget cut to nearly every part of state government -- except education, reported CNN affiliate WLKY . Cuts to school transportation and education-related programs were restored, the station reported. 
  
 The proposal also includes tax increases and has been sent to the governor, who tweeted concerns about fiscal responsibility.

 Why are teachers taking action now? 
  
 Galvanized by West Virginia teachers, who went on strike and got a pay raise, educators in Oklahoma, Kentucky and Arizona are also demanding better conditions for students and themselves. 
  
 For years, teachers advocated for better education funding without walkouts and rallies. 
  
 "There gets to a point where you say, no more," said Eskelsen Garcia of the National Education Association. 
  
 "This is not fair to students. This is not fair to the people that have to work two or three jobs or can't pay off their student loans for the privilege of being a public school teacher," she told CNN. ||||| Teachers from across Kentucky hold up signs as they fill the state Capitol to rally for increased funding and to protest last minute changes to their state funded pension system, Monday, April 2, 2018,...

 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Many schools will remain closed for a second day in Oklahoma Tuesday as teachers continue to rally for higher pay and education funding in a rebellion that has hit several Republican-led states across the country. 
  
 Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed legislation last week granting teachers pay raises of 15 to 18 percent. But some educators — who haven't seen a pay increase in 10 years — say that isn't good enough and walked out. 
  
 "If I didn't have a second job, I'd be on food stamps," said Rae Lovelace, a single mom and a third-grade teacher at Leedey Public Schools in northwest Oklahoma who works 30 to 40 hours a week at a second job teaching online courses for a charter school. 
  
 Oklahoma three largest school districts, Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Edmond, will remain closed Tuesday to honor the walkout. Some schools are offering free meals to students aged 18 or younger while various churches, faith organizations and charitable agencies are providing free day-care services. Spring break was last week in many Oklahoma districts. 
  
 Fallin on Monday warned that the state budget is tight and there are other critical needs besides education. 
  
 "We must be responsible not to neglect other areas of need in the state such as corrections and health and human services as we continue to consider additional education funding measures," the Republican said. 
  
 But Democratic lawmaker Collin Walke said teachers should keep up the pressure. Two separate bills pending in the Legislature to expand tribal gambling and eliminate the income tax deduction for capital gains could generate more than $100 million in additional funding each year. 
  
 "I think the Republican strategy is to wait the teachers out," Walke said. 
  
 Oklahoma ranks 47th among states and the District of Columbia in public school revenue per student while its average teacher salary of $45,276 ranked 49th before the latest raises, according to the most recent statistics from the National Education Association. 
  
 The demonstrations were inspired by West Virginia, where teachers walked out for nine days earlier this year and won a 5 percent increase in pay. Teachers in Arizona are now considering a strike over their demands for a 20 percent salary increase. 
  
 In Frankfort, Kentucky, teachers and other school employees chanted "Stop the war on public education," during a rally at the Capitol Monday. 
  
 "We're madder than hornets, and the hornets are swarming today," said Claudette Green, a retired teacher and principal. 
  
 Schools across Kentucky were closed, due either to spring break or to allow teachers and other school employees to attend the rally. 
  
 Amid a chorus of chants from teachers, Kentucky lawmakers considered a new state budget that includes higher spending for public education. 
  
 Budget negotiators unveiled a spending plan Monday that includes increased spending for the main funding formula for K-12 schools to be paid for by a 6 percent sales tax on a host of services that had previously been tax-free. 
  
 The Kentucky teachers are mad because Republican lawmakers passed a pension overhaul last week that cuts benefits for new teachers. Opponents objected that the pension changes were inserted into an unrelated bill without a chance for public input, and worry that the changes will discourage young people from joining the profession. 
  
 Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has not yet signed the bill, but last week tweeted his support, saying public workers owe "a deep debt of gratitude" to lawmakers who voted to pass it. 
  
 During Monday's rally, some teachers, angry at lawmakers who supported the bill, chanted "Vote them out." 
  
 Melissa Wash, a first-grade teacher form Gallatin County who has been teaching for 19 years, said she voted for Bevin, but now plans to become a Democrat. To the lawmakers who voted for the pension overhaul, she said: "You better not count on another year in office."

A: 
Many schools were expected to be closed Tuesday throughout Oklahoma as teachers there continue their walkout for higher pay for a second straight day, reports CNN. Teachers in Kentucky also protested Monday—following the lead of their colleagues in West Virginia earlier this year—but most schools were expected to be back open in that state on Tuesday. As the protests unfold, the Washington Post detects a theme, not only in those three states but in teachers' marches elsewhere, too. That would be the 1984 song "We're Not Going to Take It" by Twisted Sister. Listen to teachers sing it Monday in Oklahoma and in Kentucky. “You can tell they’re teachers because that’s the last new song they heard,” joked Seth Meyers, picking up on the trend when it surfaced in West Virginia. "I know they’re striking for better pay and health insurance but they could also save the school money for a prom band." The Post sees it as the "unofficial anthem" of the teachers' movement. It's not clear how long schools will stay closed in Oklahoma, but the state's three largest school districts, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Edmond, are extending spring break at least one more day, per the AP.
