An Oklahoma Teacher
Leaves the Classroom

5 Things You Need to
Know About the Walkout

The low teacher salaries in
Oklahoma forced teachers like
Jennifer Johnson to leave their
beloved profession. After moving
to the state, she would have had
to take a $17,000 pay cut.

When Oklahoma teachers walked
out of their classrooms last week,
it wasn't only about wanting better
pay. Erin McHenry-Sorber of West
Virginia University explains the
finer points of their protest.

Telling them otherwise is a disservice."
