Then why don't we DO something about it? The first school closure I argued with the "teachers" and asked why they canceled school because of this. I wrote my own comments on their protest banner but it was later removed. Geeze 60 year olds are too old to teach children? Sister Kathleen was at least 90 and we eight year olds had a genuine fear/respect for her, she's probably still teaching 30 years later bless her heart!

In our crummy little rural school here in Punta Banda (primaria) we think the teachers are actually pretty good. We teach (on a volunteer basis) at the school for a whopping 45 minutes once a week -- when there are classes (they were cancelled frequently over the past 2 months due the teachers' unrest). I'm not so sure the teachers are the problem so much as the entire educational system. Com'on, these kids go to school for what 4 hours a day (?) and it seems like there is a holiday at least once a week. The government needs to make education the NUMBER ONE priority. Our understanding is that the govt pays for the school building (to be built) and the teachers' salaries -- that's it. The rest (maintenance, utiltities, supplies)comes from the "PTA", the community, whatever. Jees, the kids have to bring their own toilet paper to school! Our Sociedad de Vecinos here pays for the school bus maintenance; a community leader pays for the gas for the bus, there are no music classes, art classes, athletic teams --- it's a sad commentary. These kids have very little to look forward to in growing up.
