  AUTHORS: Keith E. Benson

  KEYWORDS: Teacher Resistance, Education, Neoliberalism, Workplace Resistance

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.10 No.3, March 16, 2022

  ABSTRACT: Both popular media and academic research abound with conveyances of teachers exiting the profession in frustration and exasperation. Even in trying times however, teachers, often were the vanguards in defending the sanctity of their profession, protecting quality education for students, and pushing for a better society for all against harmful governmental policies. This brief essay seeks to remind educators specifically, but indeed all readers, where teachers exhibited resistance efforts in defense of their profession in the contemporary fight over the privatization of public education, as well as highlighted a few instances where teachers stood up against governmental policies to benefit the broader public.
