Kids will come up with any excuse to get out of class. They had their opportunity to protest and walk out--twice. They can continue agitating for change in their after hours life. Schools need to tell them no more. They can coordinate during Spring Break and go crazy all summer but having another walk out will be old news and not seen with the same sympathy that the protests in March were.Here we now have school walk outs as a way of protesting. I think this is the wrong forum for such a thing. Here we are at the end of the school year that when I was in school was the time when the hardest material and finals were coming. This was not the time to miss class when I was in school, it would hurt you acedemically badly!!!!!!! Here we are already not performing on tests like students in other coun tries and now we have decided this is a good place to make a political statement. Adult life and politics will start soon enough. School should be these kids main focus not abortion rights or gun rights. Get ready for finals and prepare for adulthood instead! We nedd to quit taking our eye off the prize!
I'm not real sure they were asking permission. More likely they were just being courteous by telling the school what they were going to do.
