Monterey High students speak out
Hundreds of Monterey High students protest teacher transfers; the situation is complex and confusing. There are many and ambiguous reasons for the youngsters who have been protesting for days. But the main problem is that, according to the news and comments, teachers who don’t perform good enough, get transferred to Seaside.
In these situations, you always find people who agree and people who don’t. Naturally the time passes by and confusion will take advantage of the situation. I think it is really important to let the students express their beliefs. Student’s involvement in this cause shows their interest for education and the ability to defend a noble opinion.
Whether these teachers have touched them or this transfer is just unfair for the students, they won’t let the teachers go away. In this way, they really show their teacher appreciation.
What is really happening in the classes? Let’s be careful of the media shaping our opinion and make sure we understand the situation to support the right decision. These last events have been heavily mediates as always.
The students are at best to judge the quality of the teacher and of the education system. They deserve to be listened to before the end of this chapter. By protesting, these Mexican students show their appreciation early. Because on Friday 15 May, it’s Teacher Appreciation Day in Mexico, let’s hope this will not be spoiled by the problems that are occurring.
