Madison School District superintendent Dan Nerad isn't even necessarily on the side of the governor in the Walker vs. teacher battle going on now in Wisconsin, but even he realizes that the teachers

should actually be doing their job:

"Madison School District superintendent Dan Nerad called on teachers late Thursday to end their protest and return to the classroom.

"These job actions need to end," Nerad said in an e-mail to families of students. "I want to assure you that we continue to examine our options to more quickly move back to normal school days."

Madison schools are closed Friday for a third straight day. Nerad also apologized for the closures."

Doesn't seem like it's all about the children for these teachers, does it?
