There was a stiuation many years ago that I recall, where the teachers struck and they did it for such a long time that it threatened the kids ability to go to college. I don't remember how it all panned out but the kids were furious for the same reasons you mentioned.
Obviously, the teachers are not striking over working conditions. PA is a tough state to homeschool in, but that is an option. It would be the ultimate irony if the kids and their families boycotted the school by homeschooling for the year.
Thanks for adding some usefull information for a student whose teachers have put him in a bind.
Thanks for your advice and support. There is one final set of negotiations tomorrow, and a large group of us are going out to protest the strike. Hopefully, it can be avoided all together.
Thanks again.
This freeper's school is on strike. Any input or advice?

The future plans of a whole grade of graduating seniors depends on this plus the kids behind them.

I suggest that as many seniors as possible drive right over to the community college and matriculate. They should do this immediately.
