Good Luck.
Teachers in Mexico went a riot on Wednesday. They are angry changes their jobs made the government. Hundreds angry teachers attacked the offices political parties in Mexico's south-western Guerrero state. They broke windows, set fire offices and sprayed graffiti the walls. Thousands more rioters who are angry the government joined the teachers the streets. The state governor sent hundreds police officers to guard the local government building. The police could not stop the violence, so mayor Mario Moreno asked government support to control the situation. He told a local TV news station: "We do not have the ability to face a mob 4,000 or 5,000 people."

The teachers are angry changes that would take power their unions. Mexico's government wants more control the quality teachers and who becomes a teacher. Teaching unions currently assess the quality education schools. The government wants to do this instead, to make sure all schools have similar standards. They want teachers to pass tests to get jobs or get promoted. The government also wants to end the policy buying and selling teaching jobs. Some teachers Mexico give their position to a relative when they retire or quit. The biggest teaching unions are worried that many teachers will lose their jobs. They also fear that the government wants to control every school.
