Chairs on Strike at Pike Road Intermediate

PikeRoad Intermediate Chairs

Mrs. Gulsby’s fourth-grade class is experiencing what it’s like when workers go on strike firsthand. While the students were away for winter break, the chairs decided they’d had enough disrespect and went on strike, stating that the students were not treating the chairs very kindly. When students walked into the classroom, they could see the chairs piled up with caution tape and a note explaining why they were unhappy. Students had to adapt to learning without chairs for a few days before writing an apology letter to the chairs with a promise to be more respectful.
