Well, that’s the thing: It’s planned for a Friday when most kids have tests. If they go, they get 0s, and tests are 70% of their grade. If he gets a zero for this test, he will have a really hard time coming back, and have zero wiggle room.

Nope. I’m a teacher. The kids are aware of what the walkout means. You don’t get to walkout and then your mommy emails me so I treat you special and let you make up the test nobody else can make up. I wouldn’t even respond. If he walks out, he walks out. If he stays he stays. I’m not chasing kids around about this stuff.

Teachers are people too

All kinds,some like PP. Others, not.

In this instance, most are like me. I support the kids protesting if they want. But your mom is not going to email me and then say you don’t have the same outcome as everyone else who walked out and maybe missed something. Your choice always has a consequence and the kids do have to own that.

That has not been our experience.

It has been your experience that after students walk out of class you can email the teacher and they say “yeah just for you Jonathan can make up that assignment”? Because that is the exact experience we’re discussing here. Not “do teachers generally let kids make up work” which I do. But “do teachers violate the school policy that students who participate in a walk out miss work they cannot make up later and bend on that because the parent asked them to.” Which no, most would not.

Teachers proactively discussed the walk out and what the child's choices were regarding work. No one needed to be contacted by me.

I can believe you are a teacher. We've met some who had been doing this too long.

If you did not do this, why are you responding as if you did? The entire comment spawned from someone telling OP to email the teacher to ask could her son still do the work he would miss during the walkout because she doesn’t want him to fail. I said as a teacher I would not accede to that and treat that student as an exception to the policy. You said “that hasn’t been our experience” and then go on to admit this isn’t even something you’ve dealt with or that has applied to you at all. Huh???

If your kid walks out in protest, they are aware they might miss work. There isn’t an exception to that. If the teacher decides to halt all instruction so the kids miss nothing, that’s their choice. If they proceed with instruction and the kids miss something, the kids accept that as part of walking out. This isn’t hard. And despite your passive aggressive attempts at framing a teacher who follows this policy as a bad teacher, they aren’t.

Another teacher here.

I’m not breaking school policy. If you email me, I’m going to hold firm. It seems every teacher responding has said a variation of this.

(And I’m not sure I understand your last paragraph. Did you try to insult the previous teacher? Kind of fell flat.)

A lot of these kids see ICE in their neighborhoods, know people have been detained or deported.
There is something special about peers getting together and publicly saying what is happening to you is wrong and we are here to support you.

There are also a lot of youth from immigrant families who DO NOT participate in these walk-outs. We support detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. The fact that the US has not forced its laws for decades doesn't mean that it's free for all. We all went through years of waiting, separation, spent a lot of money, had medical tests etc. etc. and never got public assistance. Do not for a second start imagining to yourself that all immigrants support these walk-outs. These are organized by liberals. It's the biggest mistake that you made. You cannot brainwash us with your sob stories. It's over for illegals. I enjoy confronting all the white liberal women living in a cuckoo-land who think they're on some kind of crusade.

Oh shut up you POS. Seriously shut up you Anti American idiot.

1. Due Process is a thing
2. Illegals in this country bring in billions of $ to our economy and do jobs no one else wants to do. They are the backbone of how we get food you fool.
3. Brainwash are you kidding. You literally support a pedofile that raped kids like 9,10,11,12, 13 years old what is wrong with you? Trump is a felon,you are good with stealing from sick kids with cancer. The anti american shit is stealing taxpayer monies by the Billions daily you support this crap. You support killing americans who are protesting under their right under the Constitution go F yourself.
4. Stephen Miller is a god dammed liar all day every day.
5.The CONSTITUTION OF THE US AND OUR COURTS ARE THE LAW OF THIS LAND NOT TRUMP OR HIS SYCHOPHANTS.

I'm not going to wrestle with you in the mud, but want to point out the repeated lie that illegals bring in BILLIONS. Think about it. If that was the case, countries would be lining up to get you. In reality, even your home countries don't want you. What really happens is this: sneak over the border, pop out some kids, this entitles you to sign up to every social program (food, housing, medical) that exists, you work under the table and send money abroad (remittances info is readily available). You're a significant drain on all the resources, not only monetary, but also physical (schools, hospitals etc.). What's absurd is that instead of being thankful for all the resources that have been given to you, it's not enough! You want more! Now you have rights to get them! Now whomever is not giving you taxpayer money and free stuff, is the culprit. You're the victim here! You fly a foreign flag, demand stuff, and are the victim!

DP.

This isn’t an opinion. It’s data.

What exactly do you contribute? It’s obviously not brainpower.

Show me the data. I hope you do realize that there are COSTS associated, as brainy as you are.

A great recent summary is a paper entitled "The Cost of Illegal Immigration to Taxpayers" which was presented in a House Budget Committee (in 2024). The basic outcome is that: "Illegal immigrants have a negative fiscal impact -- taxes paid minus benefits received -- primarily because a large share have modest levels of education, resulting in relatively low average incomes and tax payments, along with significant use of means-tested programs and other government services. We estimate that the lifetime fiscal drain (taxes paid minus costs) for each illegal immigrant is about $68,000, although this estimate comes with some caveats." It was estimated that illegal population was approximately 12.8 mln in October 2023, up from 10.2 mln in January 2021. On average, 43 percent of illegal immigrants have less than a high school diploma, 25 percent have only a high school education, 13 percent have some college, and 18 percent have at least a bachelor’s. What welfare/social programs are used is in the paper.

Sure thats why ALL these kids are protesting and all protesters are "paid agitators."

Whatever you want to think

Teacher here and terrible advice. Do not do this. The teachers need to follow school policy. They can reply and suggest your kid see the school counselor if they are struggling with peer pressure issues but that’s about it. No, they are not going to go against the zero policy on the walkout because you emailed about peer pressure. Do not email. Your kid walks out and faces the consequences or stays and takes the test.
