Dear Ms Clark and Mr Fassbender,

I think I’m becoming a frequent writer. Just the other day I talked about school board budgets. Now I write to you about the Teachers’ Job Action.

Can you please, please, please get a grip on this? I suggest going immediately to arbitration because there’s not a mouse’s chance at Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) Convention that you’ll be able to come to a deal with the court cases against the Province. (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-teachers-federation-wins-2m-in-damages-from-province-1.2513211) Despite the appeal, these judgments are the 800-pound pink gorilla at the negotiating table that can’t be ignored.

Just to be clear, I’m a parent and PAC Chair and we’re not finished Day 1 and we’re feeling the effects of the issues with the teachers not willing to be at an event with an Administrator present.

Please. Make this stop.

– Rob.
