"RIF Now, Pay Later"

[@pedagogyforyourhead]

Heartbreaking, brilliant and beautiful. Thank you Roy Romer MS faculty, staff and students. Two Teachers and a Microphone stand with you.

[@Lakerman18]

I shared this video everywhere I could. The RIFs hit my school hard as well, we all stand in solidarity with you during this ongoing battle against LAUSD cuts.

[@brendacutie77]

I was in thee video. This thing was verry important to us

[@olibearski]

thank you for creating this. i enjoyed participating in building this school and working side by side with my certificated brothers/sisters. it pains me to see what our district is going through and can only hope that legislation will lean in our favor!

[@fruitcat32]

This makes me sad for all the kids and for the entire community. How can our "leaders" honestly think that depriving kids of education is a good way to balance our budgets? It's shortsighted, foolish, and will affect us all negatively in the long run. Good for RRMS for making this video-- I hope it goes viral.

[@virtualmediateacher]

Love it. It is great to see students who are actively advocating for their own education. I wonder why Romer got hit so hard???? Why wasn't it one of the 40 Reed protected schools. Time to go to court!

[@jessfer54]

I really like this, not only just being a Former RAM, but just actually taking time to really express how disappointed we are. I am very happy that we are doing this well already. I really hope this actually opens more eyes, since it has really opened ours more. I really hope this does change, we need our teachers. Fernanda.

[@tomandrewsmusic]

good job and good cause : )

[@jujuwuu]

Save our teachers and music department!!!!!

[@benandboys]

Monumental. The scope of this video is outrageous. Which matches the wrong being done.

[@Liliegymnastics818]

Awesome school doesnt deserve all these teachers leaving

[@lx.activo]

Trust me the school now is not as good as it was before. Many teachers are leaving for 8th and due to many kids ditching and more they are adding cameras all over the campus

[@lx.activo]

I am in 7th rn school is ending on the 11th and it's not good no more. There are many fights and teachers and stuff leaving

[@raulromerschool]

Wow this was my school I just graduate from Romer I hope that the teachers can stay

[@findyourham]

We all need to make our voices heart at this time. Otherwise we might as well roll over now.

[@Z3RoAnT1]

I really miss that school ;( I wonder what teacher replaced mrs.arevalo ;( (im luis chaidez)

[@waytoven2056]

Z3RoAnT1 I'm Roy Romer I'm in 7th

[@annabest93]

Was just one teacher wat bout all the others they deserve to stay to so PLEASE SAVE OUR TEACHERS !!!!

[@cohall46]

If LAUSD stopped spending $600,000+ to build a school or if the teachers union was willing to make some adjustments to their contract then we would not have to lose any teachers.

[@rjbertz]

The superintendent has decided that he would rather shift everyone around by forcing schools to hire displaced teachers rather than rescinding over 1000 RIFs that should have been rescinded before the negotiations over the contract were even complete. Instead, he to wreak havoc on schools. Shame.

[@anna79364]

there wasnt any teacher who replaced mrs.arevalo we just have mrs.lauren thats it so theres no churous or strings class

[@Jensen189]

blame the union... standard answer from those who are not educated on the real issues in education.

[@annabest93]

When i first found out my music teacher got a RIF and she explained to us wat it was i started crying bcuz she said that she mite not come back next year and that if they didnt find another teacher that there wud b no music department n i was sad bcuz music means so much to me n without it im nothing but even if we got a new teacher it wudnt be the same cuz she is the best but the second to last day of school she announced she was staying i had tears of joy i had never been so happy but that wa

[@purplegir138]
