Unpopular opinion: the teacher should not have gone on strike.

They should instead have used that same time to teach students about the labor movement, the importance of striking as a way of maintaining a balance of power in the employee/employer relationship. They also should've taught the students about the abuse of power used to suppress the voice of the people.

Yeah, the teachers would been teaching. Just not the lessons the powers that be wanted taught.

Doing as you suggest will 100% get that teacher fired for cause.

What better way to teach a concept than through example?

All most kids take away from it is a free vacation.

-source my school went on strike a billion years ago. Not a single kid gave a shit.

So they should have gone to school anyway, but instead of teaching their curricula, they should have taught something else? That's almost worse, FYI. And it wouldn't work unless everyone did it. I know it seems odd, but going on strike was the better thing to do.
