The student strike

I was wrong, my last post was actually not my very last...

We have been asked how we experienced the student strike. As Jennifer said, it was my first real world experience in democracy.

To be honest, I did not support the strike. I disagree with the rising of tuition fees but I just accept it. The cost of life is increasing and like every other thing in society, the cost to go to school is also rising. Personally, I can afford it so I don't know why I should compromise my studies by being for the strike. I understand that there are people who can't afford this new price and it changes a lot of things for them, some won't be able to go to university. But this is what they say... I think there is always a way to make things right and some young adults just don't know how to budget...

From the very beginning (the fist general meeting), I did not support the strike, the reason is: I don't think this is the right way to change things. It has created a party for the strike and one against the strike between students which is not very good.

I choose a side and I am proud of it but I don't go outside and scream it to everyone... I understand the people who protest and want the government to change their idea but they went to far. Here, the strike is over and everything is back to normal. Except maybe the fact that it has completely changed the school calendar. But it still continues in a lot of school and now, students are attacking civilians not even concerned because they don't know what else to do anymore. I really don't think this is the good way to change things. The government decided something, it won't go back on it. Students just have to accept it, this is my final word.

Finally, I did not really like my first experience in democracy because even if I took a side, democracy's not my thing...

(I don't want to upset some people with my words, this is just my opinion.)
