Teachers should have the
right to strike 'as a last resort"
,but many people in Ontario are.
"skeptical to the point of
disbelief when, teachers main-
tain that their real concerns are
for the quality of education in
our schools, and n.ot,excluaiyely
for ' their own well being".'
Huron MPP Jack Riddell told
100 , teachers °' at the Legion in
Seaforth last week.
The Dashwood area farmer,.
a former high school teacher
and Huron board of education
trustee was speaking at the
winter meeting of the Huron --
Perth unit of the' Ontario
English. Catholic Teachers
Association.
Mr. Riddell told his audience
that although teachers are eon-
cer.ned, with quality of
education, much of the public
sees' teachers as "overpaid and
underworked". "You must be
concerned about these
prejudices", he said. '
"Teachers must convince the•
people of this province that
although they do meet the sten-
