This sounds to me like a (potentially inaccurate) generalization.  What's
the evidence that this is true?  I know only two community college teachers
(neither of whom I've seen in several months, so I have no idea what their
opinions about the strike are), but both of them enjoy their work and are
quite fond of their students.  Are they exceptions, rather than the rule?
How do you know?
