Failing grade for solution

Editor: I received my children's report cards today, and the reality was brought to bear as I looked at the blank page. What a complete and utter waste of everyone's time, money and effort.

I received my children's report cards today, and the reality was brought to bear as I looked at the blank page. What a complete and utter waste of everyone's time, money and effort.

It absolutely astounds me the people that taxpayers support continue to tell us they're doing all they can, that they have our best interests at the forefront and that our tax dollars aren't being wasted. Please stop with the propaganda, as we are not listening. Actions speak louder than words!

If this sort of behaviour, and lack of performance and competence, were demonstrated in the private sector, you would all be fired and replaced by people that can get the job done. Let me remind you we are paying your salary, and we expect much better from you.

For Delta Teachers' Association president Paul Steer to say this job action won't affect students is a bad joke. I've not met my kids' teachers this year, as they're not allowed to hold parent/teacher interviews.

How do I discuss where my kids are at, and how I can help them improve with no record of where they stand, and not facility for discussion?

This is affecting the kids in a very negative way. This dispute is demonstrating that "grown-ups" have not learned anything through their significant education, and are incapable of working toward a solution to a relatively simple problem.

I, along with the majority of this province, am so sick and tired of how long it takes for you people to accomplish anything. Stop arguing, work together and find a solution like you're paid to do. And do it now!

For the government: I've never voted NDP in my life. I've always supported your party, and I can't imagine casting a vote for a party I disagree with so adamantly, but you're pushing me that way. Gordon Campbell started pushing, and you're doing absolutely nothing to bring me back.

I really thought Christy Clark was the answer, but I'm not seeing it happen. I am far from the only voter feeling this way.
