As Greta Thunberg and thousands of youth activists worldwide participate today in the largest Youth Climate Strike to date, educators like me see the primal-scream-worthy subtext: Students have realized that to secure their future, their best option is to leave school grounds. Never was there a clearer sign that our schools must do better on climate change.
A little over a year ago, I left the 9th grade biology classroom, my home and passion for six years, because I did not have the time and support to help young people address the one issue that will affect them the most. The pittance of lessons my colleagues and I managed to squeeze into our curricula were often squandered on the minutiae of the science or the distraction that is climate denial. Our students were left fearful, discouraged, and worst of all, too busy to apply what they learn on real solutions. I continue to watch countless young people overflowing with passion and urgency judder to a halt at a crossroads where they must choose between building a true movement and meeting our school's "safer," more traditional metrics of success.

I’m assuming these articles are written to be widely read and that they weren’t written in some diary and made pubic to humiliate the author.
Point being, I just can’t listen to these imbeciles anymore without being paid the going rate of a psychiatric consultation. It used to be amusing, but now it’s just tedious and tiresome.
I never wanted to slap a child before.
Your vision may well come to pass, Jon. Young Greta’s mother has admitted that her daughter is “on the autism spectrum,” has history of depression and has engaged in “self-harm.” She has expressed suicidal thoughts on several occasions. If you look at videos of her at public events, she has some very odd mannerisms and facial tics. She’s clearly a very odd, troubled girl. Who better to lead us?
Get this idiot OUT of the classrom stat. She is a prime example that modern “eddikators” are a joke.
I’d love to depate this ignoramus on the basics of physics. Ah, the pleasure of debating a rock.
Sad to say but eternal vigilence is required.
Where are Gomez and Pugsley?
I was certain Eben is a yet another distraught woman with a degree in creative writing and a flair for propaganda.
And, alas, so sad, there poor Eben was, stuck in a classroom teaching science, something about which s/he probably knows and cares little about. *sniff* I need a tissue.
The truth is, poor, sad Eben is just another lemming with an attitude trying to get in front of the movement.
Personally, I think it’s time to flush this movement and hope the pipes don’t plug.
Ain’t nothing worth saving in that bowl and it’s just stinkin’ up the place.
The girl strikes me as having a genetic condition.
Looks weird.
Sorry, no mention of ARs was made in relation to the CLIMAGEDDON! assembly/gathering/drum circle.
A goodly portion of the country is insane. And that portion is in charge of the schools, the churches, the media and the permanent bureaucracy---the state, and the Deep State.
We win the next election or insanity reigns entire.
Throw her in one now, the little Hitler Youth bitch.

Facts. Pfffftttttt!
“the minutiae of the science”
Here’s where the writer unknowingly admits the low IQ of climate change ideology.
LOLOLOL!!!Perfect!!
Has Google scrubbed those 2008 Youtubes of programmed kids singing about Obama in their classrooms??
The League of German Girls (Bund Deutsche Mädel or BDM) was part of the Hitler Youth movement in Nazi Germany. The League of German Girls was for girls aged between 14 and 18 and followed on from the Young Girls League that was for girls aged between 10 and 14 years.
Is that the HOGG boys sister?
Facial expressions are very similar; INSANE ANGER and DO WHAT I TELL YOU!
