team-joebama:theuppitynegras:norttron:fuckyeahmarxismleninism:Philadelphia: High school students walk out of class and march to City Hall to protest severe budget cuts and planned school closings, May 9, 2013.The budget cuts are absolutely horrific. Here are some of the proposed changes:Schools with more than 1,000 students would no longer be required to have librarians or librarian assistants.Schools would no longer be required to have counselors, and counselors’ caseloads would no longer be capped.Teachers could be assigned to unlimited classes outside their subject area, and high school teachers could be assigned an extra class without pay. There would be no limit on amount of consecutive time taught in a school day.There would be no limit on class sizeThe district would no longer be required to provide copy machines, or “a sufficient number of instructional materials and textbooks.”Counselors would no longer be guaranteed to have rooms with privacy and confidentiality, a telephone, a locked filing cabinet and a door.There’s more here.notice most of the posters are children of colorI just want you to noticenot just teens protesting terrible school systems in philly and chicagoteens of color completely and unambiguously undermining the notion that they don’t want to be educated or that they’re just lazyOH, NO. YOU ARE NOT GETTING RID OF LIBRARIANS. EXCUSE YOU, PHILADELPHIA. AND COUNSELORS? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. These are the last things we should be sacrificing if we want to ensure a good future for our children.And yes, my mom is, in fact, an elementary school librarian, so this is extra-important to me. -- source link
