Post #3

I have to say that I'm not very informed about this topic, I don't know why... and I have to admit that is my responsability, 'cause I have all the ways to do it.
For the things that I know, I can assure that the education in Chile needs a change, but a real change, a change... NOW.
Words like inequality and opportunities appears during this discussion. It's a fact, and the numbers could back this, a person who has the money to pay, can receive a good education. If you are poor, you can only aspire to a public education and that entail (in many cases, not always) a bad quality, bad infrastructur and less opportunities. If you recieve a good education, you have the opportunitie to continues your studies an be someone in life, get a good job, and get a good life. Is like a vicious circle.
I'm lucky, because my dad can pay for my studies, but in this country there are a lot of persons who don't have the same luck than me.
In the case of LGE... I think that this law needs changes, and this changes could be solve discussing all the points of view from all the actors who participate in education area (teachers, students, the educations department...).
About taking over buildings and protesting classes, I think is a way to express the discontent whit the system of education, but it's used in excess, so I don't know if that way of protest works at all.
