Where are school administrators in this fight?

I haven't heard a peep out of them, maybe because they aren't union. Has anybody else heard where they stand???

6. Indeed
All the admins I know are former teachers. Many regret their career move.

4. They do have unions
Ours is not very strong. But it does provide insurance, etc.

7. Our admins used to resent teachers' unions.
And they did not fail to let us know it.

Here they did not have their own admins union.
