What Could Students Do?
  • I saw recently on the news that the student strike in Quebec is still taking place. Originally in my mind I had thought that a strike of a good scale would make schools lower or abolish tuition. It seems, given everything so far, that that just doesn't work. Even, I think, if there were merely hundreds rather than thousands enrolled in schools as a result of strikes and protests, schools survive. Why is the strike so ineffective? Keep in mind that most protesters are not at all violent, and this is probably some ploy to discredit the strikes.
