These CPS Students Are Happy To Have A Day Off "Skool"
By Samantha Abernethy in News on Sep 10, 2012 9:40PM
Buzzfeed collected some tweets from students excited to skip "skool" today while their teachers are on strike. If we couldn't laugh, we'd surely cry. Whether you support the strike or not, one thing is clear: These kids aren't winning any spelling bees anytime soon.
We poked around and found some more tweets about the teachers strike that you may find to be more interesting and/or useful.
Hope the CPS gets a deal done soon...we need our kids in school! #TheReturn

If elected officials had to send their children to public schools, you'd see reform like you've never seen it before.
