In Chile, student used desks and chairs to block the streets from police to a prestiges high school in chile's capital Friday. Students have been protesting by sit-in's, marches and strikes because of poor access to public education and privatization in education systems. Mayor of Providencia Cristian Labbe ordered police to remove protesting students from the Santiago municipality but back fired and caused an enlargement in distruction in the city's capital. Students say they will not back down until education is improved. Schools are now back in session with an increase in police presence with is causing an uproar. So far conditions have not improved since Labbe tried to shorten the school year for protesting students but he does not have the ability to alter the already poor conditions of the education systems.
