Ontario college teachers on strike

http://www.pulse24.com/News/Top_Story/2 ... 2/page.asp

I wouldn't mind if this was still elementary school, but when I just payed just below ten grand for tuition, books, bus/train passes etc etc its rediculous.[:(!][:(!][:(!]

yeah, that is dum pay a hole wack of cash and the teacher decide to strike. that is just stupid they want more cash and smaller class.

ha this is funny, but sad teacher deserve better.

The students deserve better. Im all for the teachers getting what they deserve but they are there to teach. If they are just in it for the money and for something to do - thats not a right reason. Unless what they werent getting was completely vital for survival I think its selfish.

The whole aspect of teaching is a practice in selflessness. You give of yourself and your knowledge to teach others so they may become like you. Going on strike not only tries to get them what they want, but deprives others the right to learn from what they know.

^what real said. teachers are there to teach, even if they are underpaid...which they are....they should teach anyways. lazy canadian bastards... [;)]

I have always thought that way to, and it pisses me off when teachers do that.

I've seen this on the news, I guess I don't fully understand why there on strike, I guess they have a pretty good reason.

BTW, I'm really close to 1000 posts! Took almost a year(or more...?), but it's getting there...

I guess they have a pretty good reason.

Not quite good enough to be wasting mine and a tens of thousands of other students money.

Teachers are underpaid, but in Ontario they have some of the highest paid teachers in North America!!!! I cant believe they are asking for more, in Alberta, a teachers wage is not a lot, which leaves me to say that Ontarians think the suns shines out their ass, I mean come on. How much money do you need? The kids need an education, but instead they close the schools faster then a toilet seat at a femnist convention.

in iowa teachers at most can get paid 38000, and that is with alot of experience and alot of college.

^ Exactly, teachers do deserve a higher wage, but they should not deprive students of an education.

Actually, the Northern lights originate from our sun. During large explosions and flares, huge quantities of solar particles are thrown out of the sun and into deep space. These plasma clouds travel through space with speeds varying from 300 to 1000 kilometers per second.

But even with such speeds (over a million kilometer per hour), it takes these plasma clouds two to three days to reach our planet. When they are closing in on Earth, they are captured by Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere) and guided towards Earth's two magnetic poles; the geomagnetic south pole and the geomagnetic north pole, and these clouds are the Northern Lights.

^guess no one can take a joke. LOL

Cmon Dragon Fly, its the weekend! No science for me. Way to kill the joke.

Whats to joke about the Northern Lights? It is one of natures most beatiful sights, right after the female body and fried chicken.

And I have never joked in my life.
