The Combat Teachers Brigade

The WifeWonk taught English in the Mexican public school system for a number of years while we were living south of the border.
A few years ago, when the teachers in our then-hometown of Mexicali went out on "sit-down" strike, (they occupied the schools while refusing to work) we marched in a protest parade along with some 10,000 other educators.
Then as now, many Mexican teachers earn about $100 per week.
