Teachers in the whole of Queensland went on strike today, and parents were advised to keep their kids at home as there would be no formal classes at schools.

News link here: [ CLIK ].

Ignorant fucktards who know fiddlesticks about the profession should keep their dumbass comments to themselves.

I didn't go to work because I totally supported the strike and I wanted to check out the rally, but by the time I got to the Convention Centre it was surrounded by police and news vans and the teachers were nowhere to be seen outside. I circled around for a while but unable to find free parking space, I eventually returned home to watch it on the news on telly.



Education Queensland teachers are the lowest paid in Australia compared to other states, and for all the shit they put themselves through everyday, I agree it's time they stopped putting up with shitty pay.
