[Education] KatyISD's Morton High students walk off to protest teacher layoffs

Seriously though ... you're a hardcore liberal posing as a teabagger just to make teabaggers look ridiculous, right?

 

I wonder if there will be a list somewhere of the teachers being laid off.

 

"Dozens of students"

I'm guessing there were less than 40 kids who walked out. Hardly worthy of flying the chopper out there. And I'm also guessing that a lot of the kids did it to just skip class.

 

Since this is KISD, a majority of these kids have parents that voted for Governor Perry... and a majority of these same kids will vote Republican in a few years....

The hypocrisy of the teachers is also visible... they have no issue with students protesting because it serves the interests of the teachers. We all are self interested, but the teacher unions and sadly, the profession often times in more interested in self preservation, masked in hysterical "What about the children!" rhetoric.

 

He's part of the anti-establishment establishment.

 

good for the kids....
nothing wrong with taking a stand. Even if it's not 'good enough' for the cynics.

 

I see... That's kind of like saying that people who opposed Dr. King and the civil rights marchers in the 60's were fighting against the establishment of those who were being denied rights.

 

The media LOVES to manufactor stories (on both sides of the aisle), whatever will sell or "feed the machine".

I spent some time in Venezuela when Chavez was almost overthrown and the American media actually spliced footage to make it seem as if the people were against Chavez and were being fired upon by Chavez' military... I was there, in the street, the guns were fired by USA backed insurgents... After that I realized our media is TERRIBLE, and I would argue, extremely unreliable.

 

You are deeply stupid. Stop posting.

 

That was part of the fun!

 

Truth, unfortunately. The teachers probably voted for Perry too.

 

I've walked off once my senior year.. went straight to Chacho's. That was a great learning experience.

 

I thought the lottery money was supposed to go towards education.

 

I should know better, but .... wait.. you think that the teachers getting laid off are specifically teachers that want to control "the government education" and thus they deserve to lose their jobs? Or that all teachers are like this, and thus there is no such thing as a teacher that deserves to keep their job? Or

You realize that the issues of teachers losing their jobs in Texas has nothing to do with the teachers recent confrontation in Wisconsin, right? Well, except that they are teachers. Oh wait, if you vaguely apply who's on which side of each issue, eventually you can break it down to GOP vs. DEM, eh?

So you're against public employee unions and you have no problem with the way our state's budget shortfall has occurred (magically the day after re-election) and think that anybody who suffers due to our state's financial debacle deserves it because they are obviously liberal? Is that about the size of it?



I think we're done here.

 

I hate my school.

 

They have some drawers? Boxes? No lo entiendo, amigo.

LFPT
Lo fijo para tí.

¿Ahora necesito fijar su deletreo español, también?

 

No. That is what the media is spinning this out to be.
Here's the perspective from a Morton Ranch High School student...
About 10% of the people in the walk-out actually care about the teachers. 5% are actually protesting against the right cause and the rest are just bandwagoners wanting to get out of class.

The only thing they accomplished is getting a big fat probation slapped on all Morton Ranch UIL activities for the next few years.

 

Haha. Not the "revolutionaries" in that protest at my school. They figured out about all this when the teachers actually got fired.

 

fair enough, red. it may be spin by way of the students, but fortunately some readers will take the article title at face value.

 

It's not much but it has to start somewhere. It has to start sometime. What better place than here? What better time than now?

All hell can't stop us now.
