Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
When I was a kid, we woke up on cold winter mornings hoping that the weather man would tell us that schools were closed for the day on account of snow. Never once did I get to stay home from school because of a football game. But, in three counties in Georgia, school is closed today because so many teachers took off and not enough substitutes could be found to replace them.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Clarke, Madison, and Oglethorpe counties are all closed today:
Last year 137 teachers called in saying they wouldn't be in class and the [Clarke County School District] was able to find only 113 substitute teachers.Kids these days have it so easy!
Administrators studied the absences and found that almost twice as many teachers called in the Friday before the game – played 360 miles away in Jacksonville, Fla. – than on an average school day.
