The BC teacher strike. People need to calm their tits. This blog entry is going to be short and sweet. People have been complaining A LOT about the possibilty of teachers striking in the next week. Especially those in the graduating class of 2012, a group that I myself am part of. But c'mon people, first of all, 3 days is NOT going to be a huge deal. Aside from that, they are fighting FOR US. To HELP us graduate, and to help future generations graduate. The learning conditions are getting progressively more crappy, and the lack of funds isn't helping. And the worst thing we can do, is complain about it. There is nothing worse than trying to make a difference and have the people you are trying to help bitch and moan. Sure, if we start picketing as students to get our teachers back on the job, they probably will. But who is that helping? All that says is we don't appreciate the time they have put in for us, and the conservatives win... And lets face it. Nobody wants that. And on top of that, it just says we are spoiled and selfish and all we care about is ourselves.

I would like to add I am in Math 12 at this point in time, so I am a little worried about how it will effect my mark, I'm also not saying this from a slacker's point of view.  They have the right to do this if they feel it is necissary. These teachers care for us, and are fighting for us, and all we can do is bitch and moan? C'mon, if your mother or father or gardian stopped cleaning up after you for 3 days, would you throw a hissy fit? If your music teacher wasn't available to help you practice 1 week, would you care? No. Teachers are a group of people who have been with us since we were 5. People who we trust. And now people are acting like they are trying to fuck us up? No. Just, no.

Another point, if your afraid about how you will do in first year university or college, I would like to tell you, first semester university is basically a review of grade whatever you learned in that subject in grade 12. Why? Because some people don't go to university for 10 years or more after graduating high school. What kind of system would we have if review wasn't part of the course. Yeah, it will be harder, because you have 2 classes a week, and have to cover 5 months of daily info into 4 months of twice a week classes, but that is it.

So to sum up, they are trying to help us, trying to help our future, and trying to help the province, in creating more, better informed individuals.

So c'mon students of high school, calm your tits.
