They're calling it a strong message to government.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - News1130 has learned BC teachers have voted overwhelmingly to strike. A total of 90 per cent of teachers said yes in a province-wide vote conducted in schools and local offices over four days.

BCTF President Susan Lambert says if they don't achieve a new agreement in the summer they will go after job action on September 6th. "The goal is to signal to government and the employer that we are serious. There are serious issues of concern to teachers and they need to be addressed in this round of bargaining."

Lambert adds the first step is called a "teach only" phase, "that frees us up from the huge burden of administrative tasks that have been placed on teachers."

We hear about 70 percent of teachers participated in the vote.

As a parent, I am really sick and tired on strike every 2-3 year. I honesty don't care if the teachers are asking for will benefit the kids or not, because they DO NOT co-operate with the parents at all.

Luckily other than my full time job, my direct marketing business make enough money and can afford my children going to private school.

If you don't understand Hong Kong's 通識 or Hong Kong's education system, just STFU la.
You should stick to local education system which is good at training rioters who burn cars and loot stores.

呢d唔係九唔搭八, 係舉一反三.
以前果d 科唔會背model answer 既MJJ, 通識科就更加唔會去背啦~ 咁你都睇唔明架...

背model answer 唔係睇下邊一科, 而係睇下係乜野人. 舉個例, 我當年出左名係數學科補習名師, 我可以令一個基礎都打得唔好既中五學生會考數學合格. o係目標為本既情況之下, 當然叫佢地去背model answer 啦! 唔通仲花時間去打好基礎咩. 當然, 大前提係我知道佢地根本只係想數學合格而之後都唔會讀數or engineer 啦.

而且如果你覺得背model answer 會令你有信心d, 我唔反對你去背. 不過我MJJ 就唔駛做呢d 咁無謂既行為. 當然唔背model answer 係會有後果既, 我試過中史科最級考尾十, 因為我冇背書...

當年Phy, Chem, Bio 我都冇背過乜野 model answer, 中英數就更加冇得背. 比著我有得讀通識, 我都一定唔會背啦! 通識呢d 科, 高分又點woh, 考到夠入U 既grade 就得啦! 駛唔駛走去背model answer 咁辛苦呀..

Diu... 我之前就係講緊通識教育都要背 model answer，跟住你就話唔使背，因為你唔係講緊通識。呢啲唔係九唔搭八係乜野？

通識嘅原意係想教曉（或者開始教）小朋友點樣去有獨立思考、有批判性思考。你家陣要背 model answer，咁咪即係同個理念背道而馳？咁你仲搞乜撚野通識？你估讀通識真係想你樣樣都識咩？

Union dues are typically only 2 to 3% at most. It is certainly still something, but I wouldn't call that a lot la. In exchange for the better benefits and rights that you get, they could be worthwhile ge.
