Letter: Setting a bad example for the kids

The Editor, If Christy Clark thinks that the teachers don’t deserve what they are asking for to teach our kids, I don’t think she deserves the handsome pay packet and perks she is receiving to run the government.

The Editor,

If Christy Clark thinks that the teachers don’t deserve what they are asking for to teach our kids, I don’t think she deserves the handsome pay packet and perks she is receiving to run the government.

She should set an example by lowering her remuneration to bring it in line with that of the teachers.

 If the courts have decided that she was wrong in stripping class size and class composition from the collective agreement, why does she not abide by the court’s decision?

Being in the ministry, I would think she should set an example for others to follow.

Or, does she think that she and the government are above the law?

 Incidentally, Christy Clark does not have to worry about the teachers strike like us poor folks.

Her son goes to a private school and is not affected by the strike, so why should she care?
