Whatabout us?
Times may be tough for students of this
College if the teachers decide to strike.
That is becoming more and more evident.
The students need to be aware that there
is a problem between the teachers and the
school board and the result may be a strike.
How can the students help? Well, they
really can’t unless they want to walk on
picket lines with the teachers, or take the
board’s side. It’s frustrating to know that
when something includes us, the students,
we really do not have a say over the out*
come.
So, we wait, and go to classes that
someday might not be taught, or will be
taught by a substitute.
While there is nothing we can do, there is
one group of people who can help. The
board. They can come out and make public I
their views just as the teachers have done. I
Don’t leave the students of this college in a I
cloud over their future.
And both parties, while you’re running I
around screaming about what you both II
want, take into consideration what you’re I
here for: to teach the students. So think I
about us.
