Lynda Booker a teacher at Clarke High School said that students pieket with them every day, and parents brîng them warm food to eat. Orono Public School teachers feel that it will be harder to keep spirits up the longer they are out of the classroom. One Orono teacher said it was disheartening to be on strike while there are no negotiations taking place. A Kirby Centennial Public School teacher said that per- sonally, he was sorry that the government did flot get the injunction they sought, because now this action -by teachers cou id drag on for a long time, keeping them out of the classroom. Kari Francis, an OAC stu- dent at Clarke High School, said that she along with many of her friends ýare very con- cerned that if the strike lasts longer than two weeks, they wilI lose their whole semes- ter. Francis says she does support the teachers, but would rather have them in the classroom while their unions do battle. The fact that they are left in the dark about their future bas many OAC stu- dents frustrated. Neither side looks like it is ready to back down any time soon. RKecycle ý ý jk 1 ý ý ý ýýl %X
