Thank you Ryan.  All the best on “the outside.”

Yes.  I am a BC Teacher.  You likely have heard about us in the news recently.

My take on things:

The BCTF pushes their propaganda.

The Gub’ment pushes their propaganda.

The media sensationalizes whatever increases readership, because readership sells advertisements.

Somewhere out there is truth, but neither you nor I am really privy to all of it.

My questions though:

If the Government is deemed allowed to rip up the Teacher’s contract (currently in their third appeal), could they not, then, set a precedent to be allowed to rip up any contract?

If we allow the Government to over-rule court rulings (E80),  could they not, then, set a precedent to be allowed to overrule any court rulings?

In the mean-time:

I am purposing to remain positive through all this, and not get emotionally dragged down by all of what is going on.  I must admit, however, that my enthusiasm and passion for the teaching career is slowly being beaten out of me, year after year after year.

What I do in my classroom is all that is important to me.  The rest of it is “just a job.”
