So sorry about your local wastes of oxygen. There's an old proverb amongst grifters -- don't con kids. Not because of any nobility, nor because the kids don't have money, but because kids are hard to con, manipulate, or subvert. From what I'm seeing, the students are organizing their own protests of the standards and in defense of their teachers. The teachers' protests are also independent. They may be coordinating a little, because they have the same goals and ends, but nobody is controlling those poor, innocent students (who after this does down, will go back to being mouthy, snotty, know it all punks because Get Off My Lawn is a thing with such oxygen thieves.)
