For seven months, Lansing teachers were on the verge of striking. Years of budget cuts had put the school district in uncertain waters — leading to slashed benefits for teachers, the threat of further program cuts and other internal problems. In the middle of all that, were MSU College of Education students doing required class fieldwork and internships in Lansing classrooms.
