High School Strike Durham

Q100: When will Durham high school students return to class?
Before April 25th: 30%
Between April 26th and May 9th: 35%
Not before May 9th: 35%
(A resolution of this question requires a majority of Durham region students to return to class on a permanent basis.)

A high school teacher's strike will begin this Monday in Durham region, the east GTA region including Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and smaller places (see article here).  Talks do not seem to be going on right now, although they will probably start again shortly.

I think the strike might very well end quickly, but it is also possible for it to drag on for a long time (like the recent Vancouver teacher's strike).  A strike longer than 3 weeks is somewhat unlikely, although certainly possible.
