QUOTE(Shortiiex @ Oct 12 2005, 4:15 PM) They're a freaking union, that's why. I don't even know why the government lets themselves be shook up so often by unions now anyway. At the first sign of disapproval or dissatisfaction, all the unions do is go on strike. Apparently, the teachers are pissed at the number of children in classrooms, which is getting larger and larger each year. It goes to like, 35 now? I've never had more than that. I don't know why they're complaning. "Omg, 4 less children in classes, that's like, CHRISTMAS for me, SO LET'S GO ON FREAKING STRIKE!" Also something about mentally challenged kids in regular classes...something about having too many. Or something. And the last and most important (although most subtlely mentioned) reason is FIFTEEEN PERCENT INCREASE IN SALARY. Yup. I just remembered that I have my Socials 11, English 10 and Science 10 Provincials this year.... CRAP. |
