In Seattle, the teachers’ union has launched a strike for the first day of school today, after negotiations broke down Tuesday night. The teachers are demanding fewer standardized tests for students, more time to prepare for classes, and better pay. The strike comes after Washington’s Supreme Court ruled last week that the state’s new charter school system is unconstitutional. This is the first teachers’ strike in Seattle in 30 years.
