Teachers have lost long before they had started the fight due to their past long time habits and practices. Like the general masses, students are held hostage all the time from all sides. School teachers, university professors, and Ontario government do not hesitate a minute to do anything without consulting students in matters that would ultimately concern or involve them. That is how democracy, if we have any, is being taught by the teachers, and practiced by the government. Again like the masses, the awareness of the students is not as keen or visible like in other poor nations.
Awareness is inversely proportional to wealth and prosperity.
Students have been reduced to slavery. To earn their exorbitant tuition fees set by the rich governments, they have been forced to spend awful amount of time for funds and robbed of the opportunities to learn. Thereby society is going backward. No wonder why other nations could become competitors to the western world. These precarious states and conditions of the students will not change for the better for lack of their awareness.
