And Still I Rise

Monday,it is back to work i.e if the transportation strike is not resolved.For months now this strike over proposed increase in bus fares has been in the pipeline.As is usual in these parts there is always resolution at the ninth hour.However,according to the Transport Assoc the Government has refused their demands for increased bus fare thereby forcing them to call a strike on Friday and Monday.

The thing that irritates me about these strikes is that the vans block strategic points and in the process prevent private transportation from going about their business.Up to now I still can't figure out why private transportation is made to suffer.The overwhelming majority of commuters use public transportation so it is not even a case of their strike being affected.Anyway, it is high time the Govt runs a transport system to alleviate these inconveniences which are becoming far too regular for my liking.Not that I won't mind an extra day off but I expect some deal will be struck for Monday and put an end to my dreams.

Anyway,this term is short with Cxc's beginning in May.That means I only have three weeks of teaching time with the fifth formers before they go home.Hopefully,this time around results will be better but I don't have high hopes.But I may be pleasantly surprised,who knows.Anyway,have a good weekend all
