Page 10 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc, November 12,1997 BHS News Here's How Students Kept Busy During Teacher Protest by Aaron Elliott Without school filling up their lime during the week, students had to find new distractions. For example, some have gone to work full time to make a little extra money for when school starts up again. Many others who did not have jobs, however, had to find some sort of cheap entertainment to while away those long weekday afternoons. Daytime television and naps were possible remedies, remedies, but many found the movie theatre to be a good alternative. Cincplex offered movies during the week and reduced the entrance fee for these times. Homework during the strike has been (for the lower grades at least) light. Since no one knew how long the strike would last, it was difficult to decide what would be a fair amount of homework to assign. Without proper lessons, most of the work that could have been assigned would have been pointless anyway. For sonic students doing poorly in sonic subjects, subjects, this long period between lessons could have serious effects on their grades. Not to mention mention the effect that this is having on other student organizations such as the band and sport teams and the school play whose games and practices arc being cancelled. rone News Cabaret Set for Friday, Nov. 14 . •• | I _ 1 .... « nnnnln llllm llfdrn flint KIDS AT WORK - Eugene Byrnes, a shift superintendent at Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, shows grade nine students around the hydro station's central control room during national "Take Our Kids to Work Day" on November 5th.

Visiting students learned about a wide range of jobs as they loured the mam control room in the afternoon. They also got a chance to tour the chemical laboratory, laboratory, the mechanical maintenance and control maintenance shops, the radia- lion protection training area and the emergency response room. For a number of students, it was not their first trip to the station but it was the first time they had seen their parents at work. Etobicoke student Linda Yu said it looked like a very high tech environment, with lots of equipment and "boring paperwork" Shift supervisor Eugene Byrnes was busy explaining the control room monitoring monitoring equipment to his own daughter and several other students. He says the experience can be valuable for both parents and kids. "I think it's beneficial for kids because for them, their parents disappear lor eight hours a day and they have no idea what they do. By spending time at work with a parent they might understand better why they come home grumpy, all bent and twisted, or happy." . Parents haven't forgotten what it was like to be a teenager going to school, Byrnes adds.
