Riots

I’m half expecting CNN to tweet that South Africa’s government is being overthrown by college students. You wouldn’t believe how ridiculous the relationship between the students and universities is here. For example, this past week, we couldn’t be at Edgewood Campus because there were riots. Every year, students cause enough trouble that they eventually get the attention of the news in order to send their message that student fees (tuition) are too expensive. Apparently, they even burned a car the other day. I’ve been told the riots are “fun” though. On Friday at Howard College, we heard a group of students practicing for the riot on Monday. The university is set to cancel classes because they already know students won’t come. In the end, the students always get what they want, the universities continually lower their tuition.

Needless to say, I don’t think I’ll be at campus on Monday to experience the “fun”.
