Student Walkout In Solidarity w/Teachers - For Student Power

http://www.forstudentpower.org/blog/?itemid=49

In the town of Garfield, NJ, where teachers have been working without a contract for months now, hundreds of teachers called in sick to work on the same day, effectively taking part in a wildcat strike and shutting down schools.

The next day, students walked out of their classes and rallied in support of their teachers. Pretty inspiring stuff.

Do you have any idea about how much these teachers get in lifetime benefits and big penions when NO ONE in private sector gets the same. If you had a choice-face teacher layoffs & program cutting OR eliminate their LIFETIME benefits? Which would you choose?

This proves W/OUT A DOUBT, your "education" has gone down the tubes. You kids are being used by your "teachers" For 15 thousand $'s a year for each child, you should all be rocket scientists. Not out looking for another day off. Get it through your thick skulls, in NJ THE PARTY IS OVER.There is no more money to borrow and spend. Which is what the Democrats have been doing since before you all were born.
