The teaching profession is insulted by these so-called striking teachers. I hope the ones who don't show up to class lose their jobs. Since I've lived here I've watched generation after generation of schoolchildren miss getting the most minimal education because of these good-for-nothing so-called teachers. It's bad enough that we have dozens and dozens of tiny schools with woefully insufficient budgets that were never intended to do anything except meet the legal requirement for getting title to invaded lands. But it is unforgivable that even in the better-equipped public schools the students can't get a decent education because so many of their teachers are incompetent and lazy. Some years they actually miss more days than they work.
So except for some poorly informed parents, don't expect to see any sympathy for the teachers from the padres de familia. The Reforma Educativa has been one of the best things the current federal government has done.

Such a sad sad situation, that these teachers have no formal education & can sell their certificates to anyone!! Heard about it a few yrs ago & still totally shocked by it! Very sad for the kids! How do they have a chance?!?! I know there are good ones but sounds like most are just doing it for the money. Glad the gov is trying to fix it!

Agree 100%
As long as I have been residing here, I do not recall one year, since 2000, without some type of interruption, such as a strike, or other event, that interferes with the school year.
The only thing the striking teachers gain, is being CONDEMNED(repudio total) by los padres de familia.
I would think that, a more sensible approach would be for them to elect legal representatives to fight for and negotiate their demands.
In the meantime, they can be in the classroom with the students, as they were hired to do.
And, not out being public vandals! 
And finally, why do they even take the jobs, if in the first place, they do not like the working conditions?
Seems to me that it would be best, if they choose a different profession, where they don't have labor situation grievances.

It looks like the radical leaders are loosing their grip over the majority of teachers. From what I have read it looks like most schools are functioning. The people of Mexico deserve so much better than the chaos strikes and poor quality education they have been plagued with.Respect to the teachers who have kept on teaching and don't fear testing or reforms.
