QUOTE(yanners @ Oct 13 2005, 6:09 AM) interesting...but i don't think that's exactly a good thing. it hurts the school, the students, and the teachers themselves. i remember that a long time ago in U.S. history, when all the Boston police went on strike, the government just fired all of them and hired new ones. that might just happen again.  I doubt that the government would do that, i mean we are talking about the teachers in all of bc  .thats alot of teachers to replace  .but it could happen  . |

Well, what you have to understand right now is that the teachers are running an ILLEGAL strike. The government could've arrested all these teachers on the picket lines, but that's way too many teachers. Let alone FIRE them all.
Today the BC Supreme Court ruled that all the teachers would NOT receive pay from their union when they're on strike, because it's totally unreasonable to be paid for doing something illegal. In addition, the British Columbia Teachers Federation is having all their assets frozen, and the judge has appointed monitors to make sure no offices, websites, telephones, faxes, etc, are used in order to push this strike further. I say they should've given the teachers a big fat fine, but NOOO. |

Dude that totally sucks you aren't learning anything at all. Well you can kiss your ass goodbye when they come back from this lengthy strike. 3 days (probably mroe) of homework in a night, forget it. F F F F F F all your classes right now.
