"Nobody wants to be on strike," said PSEA regional advocacy coordinator Annie Briscoe. "Our members don't want to be on strike. We want to be in the classroom and we understand that parents share that frustration as well because they want their kids to be in the classroom. So our goal is not to be here on the picket line, it's to be in the classroom teaching our students."
