BC Teachers On Strike "For The Children"
Today's poll question; why do you think British Columbia's teachers are on strike? Is it for the money, or for the children? Most of the commentary coming from the teachers is that they are fighting to give your children a better education, fighting for special needs, that this job action is not about the teachers, it's about the children. What do you think? Personally I'm of the opinion that it's all about the money, trying to get a 15% wage increase during a time of fiscal austerity. No question there are great teachers out there who have a sincere desire to see their students succeed, but that's not why you walk off the job. They're trying to get paid.

"It's for the children" card is always played...the vision of those cute little faces with big wonderous eyes craving knowledge is supposted to tug at your heartstrings and grant the greedy unions all they demand. "it's for the children" line is used by groups that want you to believe that it isn't about them in the present but for the future and for the sake of "the children"...
