Ghost Town

Today after the email genius described in the previous post 2/3 of the kids stayed home. I do want to congratulate our principal. He personally visited each classroom and made sure that he was seen in the courtyard much of the day. He also had a number of extra police officers patrolling the halls all day. Nothing unusual happened and I taught the kids who were here. All in all, not a bad day at school. The halls for once were almost empty between classes. I could get used to the uncrowded conditions but I'm sure that come Monday things will be back to our usual sardine-packed norm.
