This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in many American cities
Hi I want to let you kids know how effective these walk outs are: public schools are payed by attendance. Meaning if you’re not going to class the whole school isn’t getting payed their share. Now if it’s just like the normal kid has a sick day that’s normal.
But a class of 200? And you know who’s getting the blame? Administration. So kids continue to plan your walk outs in DROVES. Convince the kid with perfect attendance to join you, get your teacher involved by having them accept your homework at a later time.
You kids deserve a proper education and school experience. Don’t let these adults take that away from you.
My high school was 2 THOUSAND. Back in 2018, we had a beloved teacher put on leave for talking about the Parkland shooting. Nearly 300 students + staff did an impromptu walkout. We were threatened with loss of prom and graduation… until a certain magazine caught wind of us. It was TIME. Our random high school was now national news. One of my classmates went on primetime news. We had helicopters for days. The next time we walked out, over half the school participated. We were blocked in on all sides by cops.
Walkouts make them scared. Walkouts get attention. Walkouts work.
dear public school students planning a walkout: for most USian schools, there are specific days of the year that are the most important funding days for your school district, because it is the day they do a count of “butts in seats” to calculate how much money your school will get. charter schools will bribe and coax students to attend school that day, receive their funding, and then kick out all their “problem” students (disabled, need and IEP, etc) for other schools to deal with the following Friday. anyway, if you want to make your protest exceptionally successful, plan it for THAT DAY. you, with your attendance, dictate the amount of money your school gets. use your power. ask your most burnt-out teacher what day that is, they will tell you and may even walk out with you.
this only applies to public, charter and similar schools that receive public funding. private school students, use your power to walk out and shame those who have failed you very publicly. if you can hurt their enrollment numbers, you too can hit them where it will be most effective.
i love you USPS I love you NASA i love you taxpayer funded services that actually contribute positively to society i love you libraries i love you public transport
