Craig Hudson/Charleston Gazette-Mail via ASSOCIATED PRESS West Virginia teachers and school personnel demonstrate outside the House of Delegates chamber on Wednesday in Charleston. West Virginia teachers said they would return to their schools Thursday after two days out on strike. The teachers successfully beat back a legislative effort that they viewed as a push to privatize public education. Dale Lee, president of the West Virginia Education Association, one of the three educator unions leading the strike, said in a Facebook video Wednesday night that teachers had accomplished what they set out to do. Public school teachers in West Virginia have resisted both concepts for years.
