Hello Christy Clark,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
99.4% of teachers in BC voted YES to get back into our classrooms and for you to drop E80. Is that clear enough for you? We are the union. Stop trying to separate us from our representatives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Please, I’m asking you to say yes along with us. Say yes to my classroom being opened. It’s dusty, Christy. It is the same way it was when I walked out of it on June 13th. I need to clean it. I need to freshen it up and make it welcoming for my grade 4/5 students. My students need to be learning in there.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
If you don’t say yes, then please know that, without a doubt, it is you who are keeping my class closed. It is not me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
You say we should drop our preconditions. We only have one. Drop E80. It’s your precondition. It’s what allows you to not follow what the courts have said. Why would I do that? Why would British Columbia do that?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Do you hear the people, Christy? They are screaming from the rooftops to settle this by going to binding arbitration.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Two highlights from the picket line today:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
First, I got to see one of my students! They were driving by and he said to his mom, "There's my teacher!" so they pulled over. He is going into grade five and his little brother is going into kindergarten. It was so good for my soul to see him. It reminded me of why I am taking this stand.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Second, an elderly gentleman from across the street came to us using his walker. He pulled $60 out of his pocket and wanted to give it to us. We said no. He said, "Just use it for your gas, or get something to drink." We thanked him but told him we could not take his money.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It's day # 21 of walking the picket line.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I will continue to write until we have a resolution. It is my desperate hope that you will do something.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-top: 6px;">

I am utterly dismayed. The unwillingness to let go of E80 in the bargaining sessions demonstrates the Liberal party’s need to be above the law. In proposing this condition, your government is admitting that they have been wrong in the last dozen years when they stripped the class size and composition language from the BCTF bargaining rights.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">I care deeply about public education in this province. I hope that you do too. I wish your/my government would not view this as a cost, but a necessary and beneficial investment in our future. I wish that you would astonish us all by restoring class size and composition before the Supreme Court rules that you should. This brings tears to my eyes to imagine it!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">I know "austerity measures” and a promise of fiscal responsibility helped get your government voted in again. So if this is your stand, that you have a mandate to be fiscally responsible, then your party should say that you don’t have enough money to adequately fund public education. Instead, the Liberal party members continue to dismiss and demean teachers by saying they ask for too much. These words and attitudes hurt. I have not heard your words on this issue and this is why I continue to write to you, in hopes that you will respond. I hope that you will take a stand for public education in our province.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">I have taught in Vancouver for twenty three years. I love my vocation. I truly believe it’s my calling. Since yesterday my eyes are full of tears when I realize what I face in light of your government’s position. </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">You see, I do believe in smaller class sizes and in supporting integration of individuals with unique needs into the regular classroom. I have seen this support eroded to the point where I no longer feel we’re giving adequate service for the needs of my students in grade four. I deeply believe in and value supported integration. We don’t have that anymore.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">When I entered my profession, I never dreamed that I would be in this position today of having to defend my beliefs about best educational practice. I didn’t know I would have to defend myself to members of my government while at the same time doubting that they are even reading my letters, hearing my voice, or even caring to put their neck out to change what is going on, for the development of our society. </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">I will be picketing Henderson Elementary School, a school community in your riding, on Tuesday. I do so not for myself. I am already about -$5600 at this point in our dispute. I do so because I believe that public education is an integral, essential part of our society. I don’t want to see it disintegrate even more. </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">I want to teach. But I long to teach in a supported system that is adequately funded so that learning flourishes. In order for this to happen, I’m asking that true, unconditional mediation take place. The BC Supreme Court has ruled that negotiating about class size and composition is my right. I am taking a stand on this one. I will not give that up by accepting what your government is proposing with E80. If I did accept E80, I would be turning my back on what I believe about education. I would be turning my back on my own students, and I‘m certainly not prepared to allow a government to duck out of respecting the BC Supreme Court rulings. </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">As my elected representative and as the elected representative of the school community I am privileged to work in, can you assure me that you hear our voice in this issue?</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Respectfully,</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">Joan Shannon Jung</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;" />Joan Shannon Junghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03669737036035480846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696888253847914270.post-877815314210719242014-08-18T16:10:00.000-07:002014-08-18T16:10:50.681-07:00COLOURful Harvest!

It was really hard! I learned a lot about myself in preparing for this event. I learned that perseverance is a daily thing. Also that sometimes the goals you set can be altered instead of being abandoned altogether.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad I finished this and ended smiling!<br />

<div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The swim was hard. At half way I thought to myself, “I will NEVER do this again!” It was disorienting having so many swimmers around me, all flailing towards the same goal. I found sighting to be nearly impossible. I swam around longer distance swimmers who were going across my path in a different direction. I never found my steady swimming rhythm. Once I found my own place, away from other swimmers, I just put my head down and headed to shore. It was over quickly, but I was so thankful to be out of the water. My goal was to finish under 15 minutes. I did it in 11 minutes, even with all my struggles in the water.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The bike was hard. I didn’t settle into my breathing rhythm right away. I had to stop twice on the hill up to UBC. The hill I normally can get up. My legs cramped up and I needed water. I passed a few people. Many people passed me. It was fun to be encouraged by others and I started talking to people too. While riding, I decided to just give it my all and try to make my goal to do it in under an hour. I was 19 seconds under an hour. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I stopped commuting by car to work and rode my bike everyday instead. I bought rainy day gear so that the rain would not be an excuse for me to not ride. I cycled longer on Saturday mornings even when I didn’t feel like it. I wrote it in my calendar.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Marker Felt'; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The run was hard. My legs felt heavy, it was really hot, and I felt exhausted the whole way. I had to hold my blood testing kit in my hand because it was too bouncy in my back pocket. I walked for about half the distance. The encouragement from other runners lifted me. There were three bunnies who hopped with me at one point and that helped me run a bit more. My goal was to run 5 km without stopping. I didn’t make this goal. But I sure ran across that finish line! Even the announcer said I had a great smile! I was so happy to finish!</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">From the end of May on, I ran every other day on my treadmill. I used the Couch-to-5k app to help me build my endurance. Every time I went on the treadmill, I would at least complete 5km, even though every single time it meant some walking. I wrote it in my calendar to remind me of my goal. </span></div>

I guess I learned that even though something is hard, that I can do it. The whole reason I signed up for this in the first place was to have a goal that would get me moving everyday. Something to help me put discipline into practice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now that it's over, I am still being active every day. My next goal is to run a 5 km without walking. So I signed up for a 5 km event on November 16. </div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Dear Moira Stilwell,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">My name is Joan Shannon Jung. I am a citizen in your riding of Langara.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I am writing to you to express my utter dismay at what your government is doing against public education in our province. It has been appalling to watch and I simply cannot sit here and not write to you, as you represent me, and let you know that you have let us down. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Your government has been found (twice) to have violated BC teachers' Charter rights to collectively bargain. Also, the Supreme Court found the Liberal Government to have bargained in bad faith to provoke a strike. The Liberal Government has not complied with what the courts have ordered. Instead, the tax payers will have to pay for yet another lengthy appeal hearing. I heard today that we will not likely hear the result of that appeal until next spring. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I am a grade four teacher in a fantastic school in your riding. I wish you knew the passion and the love I have for teaching. I wish you could know how blessed I am to be able to work with students who greet me each day with enthusiasm and spirit, who have their whole future ahead of them. Teaching in public school in Vancouver is a vocation I treasure and value greatly. So do my colleagues. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">But in the last thirteen years, with the violation by your government for disregard for class size and composition, I have seen a devastating effect on the everyday support for my students. You cannot possibly agree with Peter Fassbender that class size and class composition has nothing to do with educational impact or outcome of learning. As an experienced teacher of 24 years, I can assure you that the make up of my class, how much support we are given to work with the special needs students, as well as the total number of students has everything to do with the quality of education received in the classroom. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Here's an example: In my class schedule I have set aside three forty-five minute blocks for reading and writing conferences which are held with my students one on one. My colleague comes in for two of the blocks and together we meet with students individually, listen to them read, listen to them read their writing, and give them some guidance as to where they go next, or help them set some goals for themselves. It is invaluable teaching time. I actually wrote my Master's paper on this very precious time I get with students. With three blocks a week, and thirty students, it takes me over a month to see all my students. At grade four, with special needs and English language learning needs, this is not enough. If my class were four or five students less, and if I had adequate support for my students who need it, I would be able to see my students more often and those students who need more support and extra monitoring would receive that. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Seventeen of my thirty grade four students have been recommended for remedial summer school, to give them a boost for next year. This is no punishment for them. They love summer school and they love learning. I can't wait to work with them this summer! (Unless the lock out continues, does that mean that I wouldn’t be allowed to teach them?)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Yesterday I spoke with a parent until 3:45, at which point I was locked out of my school. We were speaking about her son with special needs. Every day is a huge effort for him to participate in my class. He gets little to no support to grasp the curriculum. He does not get a designation. He does not get a Student Support Worker which he so desperately needs to help him connect with the learning. I had to tell her that he will not be able to read the regular grade 5 textbooks next year. I told her that I leave the classroom at the end of the day, agonizing over how I could possibly stretch myself further to better meet the needs in my class. (He's one of four students working at two to three years below grade level in my class. None of them have designations or enough extra support) I told her that's why we're discussing with our employer about class size and composition. She gets it. She understands that her son needs more. She understands that her son deserves so much more. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I share these examples to show you how much class size and composition matter to me. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I don't understand how the government, of which you are a part, is allowed to apply pressure to our union to settle by telling teachers that we cannot help our students outside of certain hours, that we cannot speak with our parents, that we are locked out of recess and lunch (my own break time) and then can say we are working less so they can dock us 10% of our pay. What would that look like for you in your job? What if you were asked to do the same amount of work you normally do, but in significantly less time and with a significant reduction of pay? What if you were treated in this manner? What if you were disrespected in this way? To me this feels like a public humiliation of teachers. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I have never felt so far away from my government. I have never felt so demeaned as a teacher as I have this week. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">It is with deep sadness that I write this letter to you, to express what a disservice your government is doing to my students, to the students of this province, and to all of British Columbia. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">When I started writing this letter, I wondered if I should even tell you that I am a teacher. I thought that if you knew, that it might discredit my voice. That you might write me off as one of those "lazy, greedy teachers" that I hear your government speak of. That is the current climate of our province. Remember when I said that I treasure and value my profession? Your government's position against educators makes me want to hide my profession. There's something not right here.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I beg you to do something. You represent me. Please pay careful attention to the needs of the children of your riding, the children of this province. They deserve so much more than what they are getting. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I am asking that your government obey the law and restore class size and composition to the way it was when I gave up my salary increase for it, back in 2002. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I am asking for a change in your current position against teachers and against public education in this province. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Maybe I'm asking for the world. Well, it's my students' world. Let's change it for the better. I'm writing for them. </span></div>

I wanted to see for myself this place that I have read about. I wanted to bear witness to what happened here. I wanted to walk the paths that were walked by so many people who were marginalized because of who they were.<br />
<br />
There were some places where we were not allowed to take pictures. One room was where they kept all the human hair that was found on liberation day. The hair was removed from the victims after the gas chambers because it could be turned into blankets and sold for a profit.<br />
<br />
The other rooms where we were not allowed to take pictures were the torture rooms and solitary cells in the basement of one of the barracks.<br />
<br />
As I gather and sort through all the pictures of our trip to Poland, these were the ones I wanted to go through first. I have not had time to fully process what I saw and heard here, and making this slide show has helped. They deserve their own space, so I've made a slide show just for this day.<br />

We walked to the school, one week in snowy rain and the second week in beautiful spring fresh air and warm sunshine. We learned about how to write haiku. How it's a picture of the moment. Then we created a collage with our poem on it. We learned about bees and pollen and the 100 mile diet and what our lives and our environment would be like without bees. We learned about lichen and moss and laburnum and snowdrops and the crocus.<br />

"I can't wait for J. to open my card!"<br />
"I just want to see his face when he sees his card!"<br />
"I can't wait to open our mail!"<br />
<br />
We also created beautiful pastel heart art.<br />
