Thankfully, the yearbook committee is also a class, but just think how boring the yearbook will be, with no pictures of people on clubs or teams! And Social Justice Comittee! Does this mean no BareFoot Walk this year? If all this is still going on, there probably won't be one.
To start, Bill 115 is an amendment to the Education Act. When I went to read it, I thought, holy crud, this is long. In my attempt to read it, I realized how boring it is. So let me just attempt to summarize. Bill 115 takes away the rights of the teachers to strike, and to bargain with their school boards. Bill 115 hasn't been enacted yet, which is why teachers do still have these rights. The teachers are supposed to be baragaining for a a contract that adresses all their needs. Because our teachers run our extra-curriculars, they have been taken away. For now, teachers aren't allowed to engage in anything besides doing what they need to do for their classes. (I think. Maybe don't take my word on that).
Tomorrow there's going to be a 'walk-out'. During period 2, 10:00 am, students who wish to support their teachers will walk out of class to the front of the school, or the football field. There they will either sit or stand in a protest for our teachers rights. I think it's a noble thing to do for out teachers, but truancy just isn't my thing. I wish everyone who participates in the walk out good luck though!
This seems to be where I should say something inspiring, as this is our last article. However, I don't have anything prepared. So hopefully, soon this whole thing will blow over, and everything will go back to normal. It's a pity the Orcale won't reach it's full potential just yet. We had to a of cool things planned. For now though, this is goodbye!
