In 2006,
the student movement started in Chile. That movement was called “revolución
pingüina”. In this year I was in 4th of elementary school and I did
not participate in this movement this year, because I was a little boy and my
school was elementary school.
In the
coming years always was a strike…
In 2009, I
went to secondary school and in all of the year in school always was a strike.
For this situation, my opinion about the students ‘strike has changed over
time. In the start there was enthusiasm, but in the end was disappointment.
Between 2009
and 2011, the strikes had clear ideas and organization, but in the end the 2011’s
strike, it is a joke. In the preparatory school, the strikes happened because
the students wanted lose class. Even in 2014, the strike was because the
students wanted to see relaxed Chilean team in the World Cup.
In 2015, I
entered to the university and in May started a strike that finished in July. I
was agree about this strike, because it had specific requirements, however it
could have ended before.
Ultimately.
The 2016´s strike was a joke, because students did not know the reason for the strike,
misinformation and ratings were approved with less than 300 people.
I have
lived 8 strikes and only 4 of them were movement that functioned and
regrettably, only 2 achieved target.
Finally in
my personal opinion, only when the potential participants are informed, the
requirements are specific and that they are as far as possible and with the
necessary enthusiasm a student mobilization can work. It is useless express
only the discomfort, without giving a constructive criticism (as long as you
can). We must not only be part of the problem but also be part of the solution.
