Recently, teachers across Ontario have been going on strike. The unions are getting the teachers to stop doing certain things promised contracts to try and get the government to agree to their terms.
At Brookville Public School, a small school near the Campelville area, teachers have said they will hold no practises for their grade 6-8 boys volleyball team. The boys had a good team, and a straight win no loss record going. The parents banded together to coach, ref, and host the practises and games for the boys. They are now going to the Halton Championships. My question about this whole strike is why, for a fight between the teachers union and the government, the students are the ones suffering the most.
We have lost the chance to do many in school events, like sports teams, grade trips, and school dances. Acton District High school has a semi formal each year, yet this year it has been cancelled because the teachers have been told, by their union, not to stay longer a the school then they have to. A senior trip to Africa has also been cancelled by the union, and many of the teachers are almost as furious as the students.
This is a fight for the teacher's union, and they have no right to take it out on the students they say they are fighting for.
