As a parent and observer, the unions' message has been very clear: Teaching happens in the classroom. Things that were done outside the classroom hours (band practice, sports, afterschool tutoring) are volunteer-based.

I'm not anti-union. Heck, I've been a unionized IT worker -- that's 11 kinds of heck to work with. Need three people to install a server, one to rack it, one to install the network and power cables and a third to push the on switch. But I was well paid, never worked more than 37.5h/wk without paid overtime.

Here's the part that's going to blow your mind:

I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THE TEACHERS' UNIONS AND THE RIGHT TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. IN FACT, I WOULD STRONGLY SUPPORT A WILD-CAT STRIKE TO END THIS STUPID IMPASSE.

The point of the article (which people seem to skim right over) is that the teachers are bullying our children. Taking out their anger at their employers on kids. And with the bulk of the issue being Ontario Elementary School Teachers - it's the littlest kids.

Why can't we do the right thing and have the union act against the government or against the parents -- but not against the kids.
