The ordinary faces of Brazilian protest - teachers take the lead

State school teachers have been at the forefront of some of Brazil's ongoing protests. These aren't the violent 'Black Block' troublemakers. These are ordinary Brazilians, just seeking a pay increase and better, basic conditions in schools. They can't even get a meeting with their State governor, and now they've been sacked from their jobs - even though a court has declared their action legal. These teachers were due to be on the street again recently.
