Teachers aren’t protesting for the kids

http://www.torontosun.com/2012/09/21/teachers-arent-protesting-for-the-kids

Classic example of Yin/Yang working hand in hand. Or out of hand and control in this case. So which one is it.

Okay, let me get this straight. In Quebec, okay I could understand students not having to pay onerous tuition fee increases so quickly. They wanted to renegotiate increases at first, am I right. So demonstrations in order to instill change. Okay. Liberal government slaps on new laws and decrees. Next thing you know people are getting arrested left, right and center because of new municpal by-laws. Let’s make up our minds, here, please people. Either we’re in democratic societies with rights to peacefully demonstrate without the need for permissions or we’re not and in that case we’re in a totalitarian society. We have no more democratic rights at the wave of a magic law wand. Which one is it???? Maudit, je ne sais plus!!!!

Okay, so Liberals lose the election. Now the laws are rescinded – something like that. Good. Now people can go about voicing their displeasures peacefully again – right. Well, now it turns out students want free University tuition. Yikes, next thing you know, they’ll want to get paid to go to University and have guaranteed jobs for life afterwards. So let’s backup a bit shall we. Maybe if all these demonstrations we take or borrow a page from the Occupy movement who have no real sense of direction and purpose and marry or join the two we’ll get something that maybe sounds or seems anyways like common sense. Yikes there’s that magic formula again. Two + Two = 3.1415… Ah, mais oui, plus ça change….

And now Ontario teachers are protesting. Eh, remind me who’s got it great at retirement again. All those fancy retirement plans portfolios with this and that investment plans in some of the biggest real estate holdings around North America. And I’m betting it’s getting bigger by the day with the onslaught of economic woes in the States since 2008. So let teachers protest. It’ll be good for their souls to find some rest and let students learn other creative ways to educate and wean themselves out of a system that teaches them nothing but the wrong way to live the Dance of Life. Good riddance to teachers who feel like they are owed the best salaries, holidays, sick leave and outings here and there. If passion to teach has gone out the window, let the students learn passion for Life in other different ways. That’s what I’m talking about.

In the meantime, let’s all turn our gaze to Occupy movements and hope they guide us in a saner direction safely without all the commotion of idiocy by both sides. Afterall, it’s excessive out of control Greed on Wall Street that has put the whole world in this mess awful quickly. No one has been spared – no nation, no government, no teachers, no students, no business, no banks, no yadda, yadda yadda. Right?
