Por más de diez horas, el magisterio oaxaqueño generó ayer un severo caos vial en los principales accesos a la capital, donde la inconformidad y desesperación ciudadana no se hicieron esperar.
Desde las 9 horas, miles de profesores iniciaron bloqueos en distintos tramos carreteros de la ciudad, al considerar insuficientes las propuestas de solución que la federación y el Gobierno estatal dieron a su pliego de demandas.Think they might have pissed a few people off? I do believe they might have done so very effectively.
As a former teacher I want to see some merits in their actions and arguments, but I don't. It appears they are taking the city/state hostage and until their demands are met, everyone will suffer.
I just can't see it any other way. Their actions are so punitive and inflammatory. And for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So tomorrow there is a anti-teacher march. It may draw thousands. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Another interesting aspect, there was a story in one of the papers as to how this was the opposite of how oaxaqueños normally act. The teachers have been lounging around, reading papers, eating, talking, hangin' and chillin' and camping out for close to two weeks now. They are not working, teaching the kids, and they are still getting paid. That sticks in a lot of people's craws. The teachers look lazy and there is one thing oaxaqueños are not and that is lazy. They are incredibly hard working and just watching the teachers do nothing except disrupt and damage the fabric of life here, really upsets folks.
And then there is the trash.

I have my fingers crossed that you take a few pictures tomorrow at the anti-strike march. I hope there is a significant
turn-out.
I could go for a couple of those pineapples.

Many of us are having similar thoughts Chris.
