2 - OronoWVeekly ils Welnesday, April 10, 1996 "~WEEK IîT -IMES CLARKE WALKO Last Thursday, a gi OUp of students at Clarke Higli School decidet1 to stage a walkout in protest of the Northu bran-lrigo Sehool Board's laying off :f five teachers and other staff from the sehool. The protest started as a small yet vocal groupf which soon grew in numbers after a fire alarm leared the sehool of students. While one can uni, erstand why the students were upset,, and ï an sympathize with their cause, it stili does nol make their waikout any more acceptable. ! Apparently the hooliganism that came to t e forefront at a few scattered incidents durin1 the recent OPSEU strike has made a lasting in pression. There were students i ho were banging on the windows, slowing dowb traffic, and using the time for an extendeds oke breakon school property. These were a sail but very visibl e minority. There were stu1 1nts protesting who truly feit that they were dol g the best thing for the teachers, and were tr ly concerned with things. . Theyoften as not k ]pt the rowdies from getting out of hand. However, stagmng a wakout is not the first method to try when facing a unpopular move by authority. To do so we kens the argument from the very beginning. I any of the students that stayed inside (an overwhelming majority of the school population) feit t at what their peers, outside were doing wasrng. Letter writing, pet itions, meetings; they mi seem tedious, but that is the way to get the best results. Only after ail other forms of protest havefai ,led should someone resort to 'staging a walkout. Had they tried ail other fmsfirst, not only would the walkout have more credibiiity, but they may have even garr red some. faculty support. As it was, even he staff they were supposedly showing theif support for were against their actions. Il hope that the students are given a chance to let their voices be eard. In talkîng to many of them on the sitei hat day, it became apparent that they had a pýetty good grasp on the situation. Often the y uth are overlooked and not taken seriousiy by, society; 1 see it al the time as few people lke me seriously because of my own young a ie. They made very good points; 1 have included what they had to say further in the paper. T iey have a right to be heard; it is their educi ion that is being tampered with. Hopefully now cooler heads will prevail and somethiný constructive can come about out of this. Neq--w LEjirector 0f Ed.
