Teacher! Teacher!

I have been working on a series of 4 for uni, expressing my frustration about the current state of play in education. I am sick of watching politicians press conferences and reading posts and comments about teachers calling them lazy and greedy, incompetent and unprofessional. I'm sick of hearing parents get angry about having to spend a few hours, or one day with their own children while teachers are striking for the betterment of their kids education. Most of the time its not even about making things better, most of the time its about stopping conditions from getting worse.

Teachers strike because its the only option left to try to be heard by governments who won't negotiate, use delay tactics to run down the clock on discussions and work on secret education budget slashing by stealth.
The upcoming battle for teachers is standing up against the replacement of full time teaching positions with casual and contract teachers, larger class sizes, less funding, cuts in programs for special needs and learning support kids. I'm calling on our governments to stop the madness and fund education properly. The kids need it.

For the exercise it was an emphasize on using line and colour and I was trying to represent some of the working life of a teacher. The comments come from comments found on the internet in relation to teachers.

I'm not quite happy with any of them but it was an interesting exercise to try another way of working.
