ONLINE FEEDBACK

Reader reactions on theday.com to the Feb. 28 story, “Local students plan to join March 14 school walkout,” describing how high school officials in the area will allow students to take part in anti-gun violence walkouts.

“I'm glad that schools are not stopping this. My youngest grandchild is terrified of school now, of being shot, and can barely talk about it.”

—Concerned grandmother

“Was the walkout organized by the students or the teachers? The answer and the agenda are clear!”

—Smoke on the Water

“This is why CT is a great state for education. Not only are our children learning more than their counterparts across the country, our teachers and administration understand no one lives in a bubble, and it's important to incorporate national events into what they learn.”

—Jalo

“I am glad this generation is finally getting tired of this pain and want to do something about it. I truly am! My concern is if some ‘sick’ individuals decide that they would be easy pickings outside?”

“Disciplinary action. Get back in the classroom and learn. We are not paying taxes for you to go protest. We are not paying taxes for the administration(s) to allow this to happen.”

—Intentsone

“Is there a reason these protests can not happen after school hours? other than the shock value. why disrupt the learning process of the school day?”

“I think that if every teacher requested that every student bring in a stamp, envelope and take 17 minutes or 3 -5 minutes and write a letter to their respective State Rep expressing their thoughts it may have a more powerful impact and utilizes skills developed in the classroom like English and writing .”

—Apollo

“If allowed this time, what happens next time the students schedule a walk out and the administration isn't on board with the subject? Setting a precedent that can’t be reversed. Do the protest before or after school.”
