    I feel like crying. My kids are in the middle of this tug of war. What are you going to do government? #bced #bcpoli

    Looks like our teachers will be on strike 3 days next week, suggested to my daughter empty locker so she can keep up at home.

    You kids may be happy about the strike, but you have no clue what your teachers are fighting for.. #getitstraight

    Thinks it sucks if the teachers go on strike but having a child myself with special needs and not getting the help he needs in school makes me understand their reasoning.

    Wow, BC teachers are going on strike? As in, no classes? I'm so glad I'm out of that mess. Hope you didn't have plans this summer kids!

    "why don't the teachers want to teach us?" a 6 yr old asks. Why indeed! Adults sort this out & leave the kids alone. #nostrike #bctf #bced

    @_Cuddlefish_ tell them their teacher is fighting for smaller class sizes so that they can focus more on each individual child. #bced

    Teachers seeking to strike in my province. Seriously? They say it is about the kids but their main demand is about more pay for themselves!

    #bcpoli Short strike allows teachers to let off steam. NDP wants some debate. Gov't doesn't want to cut off too soon.

    Teachers announce full strike, defence lawyers on duty counsel strike, & those who need medical attn get it in Timmy Ho's. BC is hurting!

    The Ides of March are upon us.... what message will an 87% strike vote send to Victoria? Probably not a whole lot unfortunately. #bced

    Kind of flattered that a cornerstone of @christyclark's effort to undermine democracy is aggressive stripping of teachers' rights. #bced

    Lambert says it had caused teachers "high degree" of stress, didn't take this decision lightly. #BCed
