Not To My Kids, You Don't!

As most of you know, and if you don't you will after reading this.  The BC Teachers are on a three day walk out.  Now my view of this...if I were to ask my boss for a 15% increase you know what he would say?  He would say "the only way you're getting a 15% increase is if you go find another job that pays 15% better." And that would be the end of that conversation. 

What bothers me is really not what they are asking for because we all know they aren't going to get it.  What bothers me is the teachers ranting daily to my kids and your kids of any age and any grade about how unfair the government is being and how horrible it is to be a teacher.  BOTH my kids, one in high school one in middle school, have been subjected to such daily rants from their teachers.  Both my kids are tired of hearing about it, their view of their teachers is now negative because that's what's being spewed at them DAILY the teachers negative crap.  If the point of the daily rant is to garner parental support through our children I can say from my perspective.  NOT A DAMN CHANCE!  Keep your political bull shit to yourself.  NOT TO MY KIDS! OH NO YOU DON'T!

I am far from impressed hearing about this from my kids.  They are far from impressed having to hear about it from the "professionals" they spend their day with.  The classroom is not a forum for an adult, whom these kids are expected to look up to, to air their dirty laundry.  I'm sure there are a few teachers on my friends list who will disagree and un-friend me, so be it.  If you're one of those teachers who feel it's appropriate to project your negative crap on a room full of young developing minds then go a head, un-friend away, no skin off my nose.

I for one hope this dispute is settled quickly, my kids are paying the price for adult issues and quite frankly no matter how many times "they" say it's not about the money, it's always about the money, get your heads out of your asses and get on with it.

I would love nothing more than to receive a proper report card that tells me how my kids are doing...how 'bout you? Even better I would love for my kids teachers to receive same said report card, might change their perspective a little.

That's, how I see it.
