Seventh-grader Raven Marcano talks with teachers union President Randi Weingarten at PS 126 on the lower East Side.
Kids and their parents arriving for school yesterday were greeted all over the city by chanting teachers waving picket signs.
The teachers aren’t on strike – just striking a political chord for the smaller class sizes that they say are necessary to improve education.
“It’s common sense,” said reading teacher Denia Walters, who rallied with students and colleagues outside Public School 126 on the lower East Side yesterday. “The most important thing you can do for a child is address their individual needs … That can only happen in small classes.”
