Teachers Cut Homework Over Pay Raise Dispute

From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Berkeley students aren’t getting written homework because teachers are refusing to grade work on their own time after two years with no pay raise.
Teachers say they don’t want to stop volunteering their time.
“It’s hard,” said high school math teacher Judith Bodenhauser. “I have stacks of papers I haven’t graded.”
The action was organized by the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, which wants a cost-of-living increase next year.
