Everything You Need To Know About The Arizona Teacher Walkout (HBO)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- On Thursday, teachers in Colorado and Arizona joined the wave of educators protesting across the country against insufficient funding - for both public schools and public school teachers.
The simultaneous walkouts echo similar protests in West Virginia and Oklahoma, and they stem from similar gripes that plague most public school systems across the United States.
But there are differences too. In Arizona, the movement is more political than in previous walkouts. And its leadership is less experienced.
VICE News' Roberto Ferdman traveled to Arizona, where he spent time with Noah Karvelis, a 23-year-old music teacher, who quickly became one of the national education movement’s most unlikely leaders in the span of just a few months.
"I truthfully never thought it would catch on, I thought I would be lucky if I could get just my campus to participate in it. But it grew. And it became a statewide movement," Karvelis said. "We put out five demands, and basically the demands focus on two really central things: restoring these cuts that we've seen and increasing our per-people funding to the national median, and we're also demanding that educators are paid a competitive wage."
The state said it would increase teachers' salaries by 20 percent over the next two years, but Karvelis explained that without a real funding source it was just an empty promise. And while they might be political amateurs, the teachers say they're holding out for a real offer - and they're hoping it will also benefit other underpaid colleagues like bus drivers and reading specialists.

VICE News they deserve a raise for putting up with a room full of bullies and degenerating values for authority.
VICE News however they're brainwashing the students with leftist propaganda and still butt hurt over a war monger losing.
Public schools suck.
I learned more online than in school.
Homeschool your kids.
manu ochenta A'ho
I agree
manu ochenta greed is a deadly game
These teachers are learning a valuable lesson...
BOTH PARTIES ARE CORRUPT!
Libertarian party is actually better because you get to keep your freckin money
@@trippatgu_6288 they wouldn’t even fund the damn schools
Our entire school district is shut down. My school in particular is full of wonderful, intelligent, and inspiring teachers who are underpaid and working while being underfunded. I’m proud of them, and I support them fully and I’ll take as many extra days during summer vacation as needed for them to continue their protests.
Who lives here in Az
I live in Arizona and let me tell you this was long overdo. Arizona schools and teachers are criminally underfunded. We are ranked the 2nd worst state when it comes to education. As you can tell from my grammar, I’m screwed. 😂
Yep I used to live in Arizona. Just coming back to this video to use in an assignment
Why does this narrator sound like Mia Khalifa? Not a complaint just a question
Wait my state is ranked 38 on spending per student but 5th for spending on teachers. WTF?
Tyler Weaver-Escobar lol
They know it's not just teachers that make a school. Librarians, custodians, cooks, aides, nurses, and secretaries in the offices.. They all contribute and they need the same pay raise. They create a access to quality schooling.
The legislature of Arizona needs to support then and give then the money!
Heard they only walked to the corner and back .. TOO HOT!!
seanaudio , I live in Phoenix. Thats not true! I have seen many standing in the hot sun hour after hour! They've been in many locations all week. Peacefully holding signs. As vehicles pass by they honk and cheer to show support. I would guess an average of 1 in 3 cars support them
They marched from Chase Field to the state capitol building, which is just under 2 miles. And yes, it was in the high 90s when they did it.
Went to school in FLA: per student 41, teacher salary 34.... where did u guys go?
So do we have school tmrw?
It's odd how teachers can teach declassified government notes like E=MC^2 and how nuclear bombs work for free but I have to pay to get into college...
What teachers are supporting the party that doesn’t always go after their funding. Love and support from Michigan
Iamtherevolution thx for the support.
school canceled for tommorow, 6 day weekend now, but year is getting fucking extended
Someone needs to tell these "teachers" that the word "walkout" is a noun, not a verb. "I don't want to walkout" is like "I don't want to shoe" or something. People relying on these so-called teachers are gonna discover theirs is a bad bargain.
They should be getting at least 85k a year
This is starting to prove that Sen. Bernie Sanders' economic message does INDEED resonate in Red States. When it is regarding your livelihood, all political factions listen to the person whose closest to their struggle. It is ironic that the teachers in West Virginia started something that showed standing up and fighting back DOES get you results. This was also Bernie's lasting message in 2016.
It's long overdue for a strong viable 3rd political party that is based on working class economics.
Thank you! And West Virginia went heavily for Bernie Sanders during the primaries. Bernie also after the 2016 election went there, the people there concurred with his legislative proposals by 90%. When people are hurting, they're looking for security in good jobs and security with social programs that benefit everyone. West Virginia is a prime example of a state in disarray for years.
Bernie Sanders offers real economic change with his proposals for everyone, not just the 1%.
so Build a wall or fund education?
The teacher edition of Newsies. I'm all for it.
That guy goes to my school at Tres Rios
The real question should be, do the people on the "walk out/strike" arguing with the wrong people? Should they be mad at the school districts who pay the teachers salaries? Or the governments who fund the salaries through out each district?
Allison Walker the district gets funding from the state. It gets some from federal and local sources too, but in this case it’s the state that’s lacking. If the district doesn’t get any funding, then the schools in that district don’t get any funding. So no, being angry with the district won’t do anything.
mossara then shouldn’t the teachers wait til after school is done to strike?Why not wait to take care of the current students now to give back to students later?
Primavera online charter school.
I live in Albany Oregon(about 1.5 hours south of Portland), today when I got off work, I was driving home through Corvallis (OSU location). These Red4Ed folks where at every corner. Now I know what it's all about.
Arizonian here. If I were the governor, I'd fire most (if not all) of the school district managers. We spend millions on red tape and bureaucracy, money that should be going to students and teachers. Then, I'd offer the teachers an immediate 25% raise on the condition that tenure and teacher's unions are abolished. Reward the good teachers and fire the bad ones. Clean house, Arizona!
I wish them the best of luck. We should drastically increase educator pay in order to get better teachers in schools.
Tearakan not really
Better teachers from colleges now days? Better indoctrinators you mean. My grandkid goes to private school, they were open this week, not the public indoctrination schools.
There are no better teachers. These are the best teachers the American university system can produce. And more $$$ won't make a difference.That's been proven to death.
You heard’em boys and girls, let’s paint the country red.... in 2020!
My teachers are doing this today
Half my teachers at my school agua fria walkouted
I live in Arizona!

A fly dies and the whole US walks out
HOME SCHOOL !
i tried home schooling...it was lonely and i got held back :P
Should have joined a homeschool group or Moms school. There are tons of social opportunities for homeschoolers these days. The homeschool community is actually quite large and continues to grow.
I'm shy around people, like...really shy. I will scream and cry to get out of going to a public event that's why i hang out with people i know (my old school which i'm currently at now.)i'm that shy so groups and stuff like that didn't work and i didn't have a phone to contact my old friends so rip.
Amen!
Ok
I never learned anything in school any way , $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Coming November vote those politicians that don't care about education or the teachers and staff out of office especially governor Doug ducey
if only this happened back in 2012 in my high school year so i don't have to go to school.
As a sudent its a pain but i will support the teachers no matter what
Instead of complaining to the government why aren't they complaining to the fucking school boards ?
soo.. the charter school guy doesn't participate in the public school movement.. okay. I get his concerns about partisanship, but that does not devalue the arguments that teachers are being paid terribly.
Teachers are the backbone of our country! 🇺🇸#1 California backs #RedForED
Funding is political... The reason for less salaries is political... Stop pretending its not... if you want to solve it, start looking for the cause... tax cuts for the rich means less spending for teachers
Teachers just got 20% pay raise, and red for Ed was NOT a part of the negotiations. They were shut out. Funny. Teachers still out today. Is it really for the children's? This communication crap don't work in AZ.
crimp creep you don’t have your facts straight at all. Please go talk to a teacher and catch up on what they actually got.
No Queen B you need to talk to administrators and ask them where all the money we give them went and why didn't the teachers get a raise?
Aerospace Cadet the teachers did get a raise. Mine was 5 percent. The governor promised 9 this year and then 5 next year and 5 the following year which he really can’t promise because a budget has to be voted on every year and he may not even be governor next year. They didn’t give it straight to the teachers. There are still a lot of questions for sure.
Queen... did you get a raise after we approved Prop 301 and 123? That was a whole lot of money! I for one thought selling public land "for the children" was a terrible idea. And what did the voters get in return??? Teachers going on strike saying they didn't get a raise! That's on the administration not on the governor. And now Red for Ed (or Invest in ED) is trying to raise taxes on businesses! That's the lifeblood of a lot of people. This socialistic tax will CHASE businesses away. It will ruin the economy of Az. Do you also support that plan? Do you think of the ramifications of a plan like that when you support it? There's a reason AZ. schools are not like other states (that are democratic). Its because we don't want to be like those states. And here's a little secret that I'll tell you. If the teachers and the administration keep this up there is another fallback plan in the works that I guarantee some but not all of the teachers won't like. You want to find out what that plan is? Then just keep doing what you are doing. Follow your socialist leaders off the cliff. Anybody that has an ounce of common sense will take what has been offered and STOP COMPLAINING! The people are getting sick of it.
Aerospace Cadet prop 301 was about $1,500 and 123 I don’t remember getting anything for that. Maybe that’s where our 1% raise came from? I actually don’t know, so it definitely wasn’t significant. You heard how much teachers make. Are you saying those salaries are fair? Are you ok with teachers leaving Arizona by the truck loads because of pay? You spoke about businesses coming here. Well we need educated young people to work in these businesses if they do come. Everything starts with education. Why wouldn’t a parent want the best teacher money can buy for their child? I know I do. I’m not complaining, it is what it is, I’m just trying to make sure you know the facts. No teacher got the 20% that’s on the TV. That’s all I’m trying to convey.
unreal how gready these teachers are. nobody forced them to except a public position as a teacher and after they figure they are not rich they complain about pay buy hide it by saying they need "funding" for the kids. you know what i would be all for a pay increase if teachers worked all goddamn summer
bruno 416 Most teachers do work at least half of the summer if not more.
wall street
Is this like a trend now?
Is it just me or does David Garcia look like a bald Obama?
This is great. The elelction of Trump has motivated the quiet ones. Change is coming it will be either to a democratic left or a facist military right.
The schools are run by Democrats Tom. Or should we say SOCIALIST! If there is a problem the problem lies there not with the President. Hopefully change will come. But not the way you think it will be.
Thats my teacher #Billy Robb👌👌
TEACHERS LIVES MATTER!!!
Meanwhile, over at the Demilitarized Zone.......
Thanks Donald.
I actually saw my fuckin teacher... I'd say it's a waste of time
RED for HEAD
I support you for RED FOR ED
Looks like the october revolution...
Yay no school for a week
More pay? Look at all the SUVs in the parking lots of NYS public schools. Do a story on this status seeking. And they hate and teach hate for Exxon. Exxon didn’t make us teachers buy fully loaded cars and high co2 two ton pearl painted SUVs. Hypocrites. Music teachers? Rather have a chemistry teacher. The speakers the music teachers uses need speakers and speakers have neodymium magnets etc.. teach this . Music can be taught via parents to increase parent child relationships….
that was EVERYTHING i needed to know, thanks now i dont need to know anything else about this.
Break off the chain and create your own wealth. That's why the Constitution was created. This isn't the 1800s we have phones to do this. EMPOWER yourself!!!
They lie. It's not about the children. It never is.
bydesign001 it is. I’m a student I know they are doing it for us. Most of my teachers can retire if they want to but they are fighting for the younger teachers just starting and student. Our books are held together by duct tape and from the 90’s a lot of science has changed from the 90’s. At my elementary school in the same district we had a paper shortage. That’s a basic school supplies and we didn’t have it. Teacher deserve better. Arizona Deserves better. The United States deserves better.
I agree with you, my class study time for finals next week is stopped now so they can strike. It isn’t the time and it isn’t legal.

How about the grown-ups sit down drink a beer or two and the let the teens decide🙂🍻🍻
Government schools don't have teachers, they have union workers. These union members are not very good at teaching but are very good at extortion.
Don't let you kids anywhere near these pinheads. Do what you have to to get your children into private schools. Catholic schools would be the best and schools that have the order of Xavier Brothers teaching would be even better, if you could find one.
I assumed there was professionalism amongst teachers in our public schools..NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING!! These people turned down 20% for working 8.5 months a year?!! Go ahead, look at competitive wages against cost of living @ 8.5 months per year, NOT the full 12 months, to other parts of the country with the same cost of living, & you'll see that 20% is EXTREMELY competitive!! And all I keep hearing is they do this for the kids?!!
Aye I was there bitches
redforhead
Teachers dont value kids individually as much, which is why they can see walking out on teaching them and making them more productive people in society just to demand more pay as a noble deed. Im not gonna argue that *good* teachers dont deserve to be paid accordingly, but Arizona's school system is basura and how much money teachers make doesnt even begin to scratch the surface of what makes az schools so bad, nor will it be any solution.
A simple program that allows teachers to be reimbursed for funds spent on school supplies could have been an easy fix if teachers were complaining about having to buy supplies.
dtz1586 wages havent risen in decades and the lack of funding has increased group sized to a limit one teacher can't value students individually. A person can't be expected to know 300 students and give the attention they deserve and require. Increase funding, smaller class sizes and better pay so a teacher doesn't have to work 2 extra jobs just to support his/her family.
Red for head
Sorry teachers..... you appear childish. These issues could be dealt with in the summer but God forbid you disrupt your own time. Let's disrupt the time and schedules of students and parents you're supposed to be serving. I have no sympathy for you guys.
I hope Arizona becomes blue, no more stupid red bullshits.

Have you seen the american intelligence?
Those students are missing out on nothing...
translation for us in the states:
"LOOOOOOL MERICA so dumb. ME BETTER CUZ ME NOT"
CONGRATULATIONS TEACHERS!!!
You got EXACTLY what you voted for...
phuk offndy you make it sound like only teachers voted...what a weird comment.
The Russians are in full force on this comment section! Lol
We live in the age of information and these people want a raise?! They simply have been replaced by machines.
I'm not a Russian, i learned more online in 6 months than 15 years in public school. I was never taught how to file my taxes or finance a house. Sure i learned basic math and reading but that was all before the 3rd grade.
a music teacher asking for a competitive wage... fishy
#$#ed sb 805
Teachers, with their summers off, full medical, dental, vision benefits for life. Pension for life. Almost zero chance of ever being fired or laid off no matter the economic conditions. Pretty good gig. That's why it doesn't pay all that much. But they knew this going into it, right? Now they want an immediate 20% raise, guaranteed salary, guaranteed annual raises regardless of economic conditions. And they want increases for all support staff as well (janitor, cafeteria workers, teacher aids, bus drivers, front office personnel). Wow, where do I sign up for that? Let them try to find that deal in the public sector. So, the Governor offers them a 20% increase by 2020, but it's not good enough. They want their demands met, and if they don't get them, they will refuse to teach. Kids now have to stay home. Many working parents have to use up sick days and vacation time to stay home with them. Teachers are being unreasonable. They should not be allowed to strike. Should be instant termination. If you don't like something about your job, go look for another one, like the rest of us have to do.
Bring back paddling in schools!
cool idea i also think we should bring back MECHS like the ones from GUNDAM what do you think???
Let's make murder legal too
El Grande Gio it pretty much is in Europe and Brazil
myname is love you just wanna paddle some kids huh
My gym teacher would make you carry around paddle, to get to know it before you got swatted. The limit in our school was 3 paddle swats a day. I had like 15 one week. Would wear 3 pair of shorts and pants, but if they saw that they would hit you on thighs instead. My math teacher would take you out in Hall and slam you against locker if made joke in class. We even had teachers who would cut your hair if thought too long. And hit your hands with ruler, make you stand in corner with your nose in corner....
Have teachers forgot that they live in a capitalist society? Do they think that only the people in their sector are struggling? Modern day teaching has become a bubble... its about to burst. Respect to the teachers who truly care but the rest are in it for the money and status (they think highly of themselves)
That's not true at all. Teachers rejected the first deal from Gov Ducey, which included a 20% raise for teachers, principally because it did nothing for support staff and didn't restore funding to public education. These teachers predominantly make mediocre wages and most say they are striking for their schools and for their students.
And if you want to talk about people who only care about "money and status", I suggest you look more closely look at the executives and CEOs of the major corporations who have been paying less and less over the last several decades-and are the themselves the biggest recipients of welfare.
Teachers know they're not the only ones struggling, and they know they live in a capitalist society. That is precisely the problem.
Somebody just give them money so we can go back to school
Shut up and start teaching my kids, now!
Better pay will not get better educators. You know what better pay will get? More resumes for people that are motivated more for the pay, rather than student futures. You should be in your career because you love to do it and you believe the cause... making a living from it should be next in line. Give teachers fair wages, but don't go overboard
I absolutely appreciate many teachers I’ve had throughout my life. However they get 4 months off every year. How can you demand a “competitive pay” when your job doesn’t require the same hours most full time jobs require? I believe they should get paid more but let’s not think they deserve huge pay raises. Percentage wise of course.
It's all good You know they still work over the holidays right?
Patched 87 sure. They work like 10 days in the summer for training
It's all good No they work for a vast majority of it. Exams, new lessons on the course, HR work like new teachers etc. And even if they DON'T work, that still doesn't justify being underpaid. Most teachers work for beyond there hourly rate, marking papers and prepping lessons, they work faaaaar more thennyiu think.
Patched 87 alright let’s say they work another months worth. That brings them up to 9 and half months of full time work. Still not enough for me to believe they should be paid as much as other professions. Like I said before. Give them a raise but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves.
some states also require teachers to have a certain amount of hours to go back to take college classes over a set amount of time too, it's so that they don't just get their degrees and forget anything academia says in the amount of time since they've graduated
We need to reorganize our educational system why are we still using the same method that was used in the 1700s when this country was founded this is the age of the internet computers kids can be educated at home or at computer centers teachers are not required anymore only the best of the best teachers can be used on the internet to teach thousands of kids at the same time this will reduced cost to the taxpayers and provide better education for the children then what is going on now too many distractions in the classroom too many incompetent teachers in the classroom the savings will be tremendous no large schools with all their maintenance fees none of these pension plans for retired teachers will be necessary the taxpayers will find relief the kids will find a better education and we will become a better Nation
9davidlong , Our children need some human interaction! No school system is perfect, but as it is already, many students and young adults have no social skills! They need to learn to work together at sports, group projects in classes, have friends and peer support, etc.
LeiAnne Stevens
Homeschool, children should be with their families a majority of the time not some government institution. Now we see a lack of families and women essentially marrying the government. This isn't a coincidence.
People are being farmed for tax.
Benjamin - James , I agree 100%.
LeiAnne Stevens parents and family and friends that is the interaction they need every school has its detractors and Bullies this is what's causing the school shootings it's time for parents to take more responsibility for the well-being of their children
Benjamin - James clearly you're a teacher
with my "girlfriend" instantly realized he's a liar
LMAO! That's what I thought.
Public education is crap anyways. Get your kids to better education and send them to private school.
Mr_ NutZ how about making public education better and not worse.
Arcticwulf
How about making public schools compete in the free market. If they're anything of value they will produce value but more often than not don't.
Vile Crocodile Privatisation simply doesn't work in every field. And educating everybody increases the overall benefits for the entire society. Privatisation leads to only those who can afford it can get their average children into better jobs and companies even if there were more gifted but poor students out there. Making sure everybody has a fair chance means the best rise to the top and not just the ones with the money.
Privation means there is a need to make a profit and it will always tend to a system that makes the most money and not the best results. How about making the schools compete for extra funds and still keep the baseline high. Wasn't long ago a billion got added to the military, that vould have made sure everybody got the education they deserve if they work for it.
because everyone can afford $50,000/yr for a high school diploma
There is a higher turn over rate in private schools than in public schools because often the teachers in private schools get paid less with more work load since they do not have state funding.
I want to work at McDonald’s but they only pay 9.52 an hour it’s aways been my dream but I need twenty dollars an hour to help get what I need for my family dose twenty dollars sound rational at all?? Hell no were will it come from I don’t think just because teachers dream to become what they are dose not mean we pay them more they need to earn it it may be hard to hear but it’s the truth just because you need the money dose not mean you suffer the consequences
Boo-hoo.
Chicken-Hawk politics. Ducey's banking on your short-term memory. If he was always on the side of the teachers would #redfored have escalated to the scale that it is? And why did Ducey offer the teacher 1% raise compared to the 20% they're asking for. Isn't that a slap in the face? Like they're really out there for 1%. Before #Redfored grew to have massive demonstrations about 50 of them picketed a radio station he was giving an interview and he slipped out the back door. If he was "always" on the side of the teachers why didn't he use the front door? And de-escalate the situation? He was always on the side of the teacher until someone whispered in his ear that it's an election year. Then magically 20% and let's run a COMPLETELY misleading campaign commercial that's the complete opposite of what actually happened. Then go on 3TV and give a couple interview. This is a mad scramble of a man that's desperately trying to keep his job. I hope. I hope. I hope they replace your ass. NO ARIZONA TELEVISION STATION IS GOING TO REPORT THAT TRUTH. Especially 3TV they might as well be FOX NEWS they way they cater to the Republican party
Have a hard time giving “teachers” more pay when’s it’s really a part time job when you look at how much they work including school breaks and paid days off. Also I personally felt teachers don’t teach anymore they sit behind their desks and slap a packet down and tell students to do it. Or tell students to read out of the textbooks to learn. That’s not being a teacher, that’s an overpaid nanny.
We're nannies cause none of you want to learn anything .....we slap a packet cause when we work real hard on lesson no one wants to work and they complain. I come to work to kids who smoke dope and have sex on campus and when you try to discipline them they cuss you out.
They are overworked and underpaid. Massive classes and the need for a second job just to make due.
Yeah, no one works so hard like you...Volkswagen mechanics? Clearly the lynching of civilisation!
Try being a teacher for just 6 months
My chemistry teacher use to teach same way every year i fail the first time and retook it. He gave the same text and quizes. Eventually he got fired beacuse the students where using the test papers from kids who aready took the class.
Marcos Orduno So someone who was bad at their job got fired...good?
My mother is a teacher, she was head of a department for a time too. She would literally spend all her evening marking homework, she'd comb through tests to make sure the questions were suitable, she spent a lot of summers in the school going over the course and the new teachers.
Stop trying to downplay how many hours they work. Just because there's a summer break doesn't mean it's a full time and thankless job
Get back to work
Mr Koon you should have stayed in school more. You didin't have to work in a coal mine as a child because people didin't go to work as a protest. It's a democracy not a dictatorship.
