Well, that didn’t take long: after seven days on strike, the Oakland teacher’s union has received an offer that they say capitulates on every major point at issue in the strike, including the stealth privatization of Oakland schools through vouchers and charter schools.

It’s another moment of brightness and hope, as teachers across America continue their one-year-plus streak of victories for quality public education for every child in the nation.
