Class debates should be encouraged, but allowing students to lose a day of useful learning on protesting is disgraceful.
Incredible. What is wrong with local school administers and teachers? We have a huge percentage of students not proficient in either reading or math or basic economics, yet we encourage and allow them to walk out to protest social issues (“Hundreds more students walk out against ICE despite threat of discipline,” Jan. 30).
While civics class debates should be encouraged, allowing students to lose a day of useful learning is disgraceful.
