My advice to those teachers of Ontario FRC teams:

Stand up to your union.

Tell them what they're doing is WRONG. It does not solve the problem of Bill 115. It is not putting pressure on Queen's Park to do something. It only hurts the students, who have done NOTHING to deserve this.

Don't believe the $500/day scare tactic the union is using. They're supposed to be fighting for YOUR rights. How does fining you $500/day accomplish that goal? I know I'm not the only one questioning if the union can even legally DO that at all, never mind whether or not they will.

I don't begrudge the teachers the right to protest Bill 115 at all. It is dangerous legislation that was poorly thought out and rashly hammered through parliament. Something needs to be done about it. Absolutely. This is the wrong way to go about it. Go, protest at Queen's Park, assemble on their lawn. Get in their face. STOP HURTING THE CHILDREN WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP.
