Education is about students getting what they paid for, and signed up for. Holding that education hostage should result in firing. Students are losing time & money which will NOT be reimbursed by the whining strikers. As for job security.. if you come to work prepared, do a fantastic job--you will keep your job! This endless whining is getting so old. "Teachers"--I remind you, you became teachers to impart your knowledge & experience on eager learners. If you're there for any other reason...like building your career on the students' backs, getting paid ridiculously well---get out before anyone finds out. THAT is what's wrong with college educators... most are in it for the wrong reasons such as failure in their fields, or seeking credibility. Administrators should pay more attention to the kinds of people they "employ" and be sure teachers are actually interested in teaching.  As well as department heads actually having any experience in the fields they supervise. Wake up, join reality
