Concerned Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 IF you are a parent wondering what to do with your children during the strike and are concerned about the educational significance of a continued break, please read on. Go to www.parentsspeakout.citymax.com This website will enable parents to find tutors, search available resources, and get a refund for private services required during the illegal strike. There are also discussion forums and factual articles informing parents of the real numbers and issues surrounding the strike. The website is privately run by individuals that work in the private sector, have children in the school system, and who pay ample and enough taxes. The information posted is as well researched as possible (although we cannot account for all the discussion postings). We are very much of the opinion that the media has blown up the issues in favour of the people with the loudest voices, and the most dramatic stories to tell, particularly organized labour. Unfortunately working parents are not organized, and not nearly as vocal, but this website allows us to come together. The website allows you to get down to the barebones of the issues and allows you to sort through much of the media hype. The site is underdevelopment and will increase in content and useful resource links as the strike goes on. We ask for the contributions of any parents looking for the same resources. Please participate early, contribute, and visit often. Quote If everybody agrees with what you have to say, you really aren't saying anything, are you ?
