Young People Across Europe March for Better Schools
Leah and Sam explain why hundreds of thousands of young people marched through cities in Europe this weekend. They start with who pays for schools and what a protest is, then follow how French high-school students' marches over leaky ceilings and missing teachers spread to Italy, Germany and Portugal, what the students want now, what France has promised, and why the students say it isn't enough.
