These leftist protests are always the same. Power to the people, somebody screaming into a bullhorn, chants. Looks like a pack of negros, latinos, and feminists.
You don’t need magical equipment or even teachers to learn. Anyone with an internet connection or near a public library can learn anything they wish at their leisure. In the time spent organizing and attending those protests, each participant could have watched at least three lectures from UC Berkley, Stanford or MIT.
Cah! Girl with glasses can’t even read in a sensible fashion -”we need stablitty in…?
A walkout looks like a good opportunity to change the locks on the doors. I would have thought a “teach-in” would have been more effective at getting to the point of wanting to keep schools open.
I did not see on attractive person in those videos.
Since they aren’t learning much in those schools anyway it really doesn’t matter much if they’re in class or not, does it.
Detroit has schools?
Who gives a shiite if the students walk out?

The teachers – they’re probably delighted and relieved
What precious little mindless lefties. At least they managed to learn the rote line, ‘we are ‘da foooture’.
This is about union jobs, period. All the rest is window dressing for the media. Blatant money grabbing is the entire motivation behind this “protest.”
“Teachers don’t want to teach.” Do the students want to learn?
I haven’t heard anything good about any public institutions in the Detroit area, I also have never been there in person. From what i have heard it is very believable that many of the teachers in those districts are of poor quality. However, I believe that their anger is misdirected. The logic behind their complaints is the same as someone blaming their lung cancer for problems in their life, all the while ignoring the 3 packs a day they smoked for 20 years. For them to make meaningful changes in the school system they need to change the elected officials who make the polices for the hiring and firing of the school administrators and teachers. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
The young woman complains that the teachers seem to be only worried about collecting a pay check. Well, going to school is like a job. The “pay check” is your education and that diploma at the end. Like a job if you don’t go every day and do your work, you wont get paid.
They don’t need more money, they need to get LESS money. think about it, in some 3rd world countries the lucky kids get about the same level of education as these kids achieve in a mud hut with a board and few cinder-blocks as a desk. The real difference, the one that matters, is the mud hut kids KNOW they are lucky and are grateful and WANT to learn, they don’t take it for granted.
This entitlement mentality must be stopped, or this country will have no hope for a future.
Poor teachers get blamed for everything. The students should be blaming the administrators, the media, and the government apparatchiks for putting the teachers in the situation they are in. Where if they say one wrong(right) thing they are gone, much less what would happen to them if they did what they really needed to to turn Detroits schools around(obviously the racial gap is going no where however).
