my 15 year old daughter is now going to spend the day at the mall rather than in class learning for her future.
She may not have school for up to 2 weeks (was what her school projected) and in that time she won't have access to the necessary learning tools she needs to be able to complete her education and pursue her goals of becoming a microbiologist or marine engineer (yes I know she's only 15, and she has a couple years left - but missing school always has an effect).
Yes, teachers should be properly compensated, but to sacrifice the education of the kids sucks ass. And yes, I realise their point is that the kids education suffers anyway due to large class sizes and limited funds/resources for the school, but if they're not even at school that's much worse than large class sizes.
A couple years ago I remember they did the same thing here and a bunch of Grade 12 kids couldn't graduate properly cos they didn't have the knowledge and grades (from lack of work being able to be completed). They ended up having to repeat classes and graduate in spring rather than fall.
There are consequences to innocent parties when teachers strike - it would be great if they could find some other way to get whatever it is that they want.
