What  if all the junior & high school students belonged to a union & the union made ALL the decisions ?

I don't think most students are responsible enough to take part in the process described...

Perhaps a given school, but generally there is a special school where they send all the **** ups that can't keep it together in the regular school (at least, that's the case in a large district).

Do you all know what a "steering committee" is?  That's the group of people who are influential in "steering" the masses, and who get together and plan what the union will do.  They don't present a question to the rank and file until they have tailored everything so the rank and file will vote the way they want them to.  The steering committee members are active union members who effect the union.  \n\nThe most influential thing you could do with regard to the union would be to call for a decertification vote!  Put it to the rank and file:  would you rather keep the money you pay in dues, and not have to obey the steering committee, but go your own way?

Elementary students. High school kids have too much clutter in theirs already.

technically yes but they are doing it anyway \nI encourage all students and families of students who recieve fines not to fall down divided but fight back united in a class action suit against school districts because freedom is not free and certain freedoms will be taken away if nobody fights for them

For the fictional movie I believe that is the case they want you to believe. In actuallity no. The cheerleaders and players are not a part of the same union and therefore would not be on strike for the same time and issues.

There would be widespread chaos and anarchy.

Many middle class people are told how to vote by their Unions.  Many others believe only what they hear on TV.

because in the end, the labor controls everything.

How about the students would only be able to afford fewer hours which would take them a longer time to graduate and in turn, they would have a higher probability of dropping out because they either can't afford it anymore or school was taking forever.

Ever heard the phrase "Power of One"?  If each one of us voices are opinion strong enough to be heard either voicing it in public, on-line etc... if each of us would come together and work as a single unit a team and all of us stands together we would have a chance to turn the tables.  \nRemember if United We Stand, the reverse is also true, United we can Fall too.

Jesi has the right answer...\n\nIf there were ten, how would they reach decisions without the possibility of a tie vote? There are nine.

because it is the largest, and membership means that if employers mess with one small group, this massive union will do something about it, and people will definitely listen. also, they probably have pretty good benefits for their members.

No, they would all have to go back to school and learn it.  Let American english be the official language.

Yes!My high school was awesome.We had tons of AP and honors classes, a great football team, tons of extracurriculars, and I was involved in alot of them. I had awesome friends and loved high school most of the time. It was the best time of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

How can you say 'everyone would be happy'? Nationalists would still be living on a divided island, and unionists would no longer be part of the UK. FYI this idea was mooted in the 1940s, when the Unionist government was unhappy about the left-wing social programmes being imposed on them by the UK Labour government, but it was a non-starter then and is a non-starter now.

I go to St. Lawrence (k-town) and I am PISSED about the strike. It is my graduating year, and half the class have jobs in BC for the summer and they are on contract (so much for that). Weekends and Evening classes are not cool... I think that education should be an essential service, so that the teaches/union can't strike ever again!  I think that if we are paying for our education, then the teachers should not go on strike!!!
