And this is about not enough teachers and unfunded school infrastructure?

It’s an excuse but there’s an underlying reason for these types of riots. You need a cause for something like this. They could reform the schools into palaces with 4 teachers per classroom and it still wouldn’t be enough

Not quite. First of all, today was not about schools specifically, a whole lot of people from different lines of work joined in. Second of all, for the schools situation, you have to make a difference between the students who protest over actual revendications and the ones who took advantage of it to break stuff. I go to school in France and participated a little in peaceful protests, students are genuinely mad that their thing got ruined
