I teach in a magnet program that is housed within an inner city school, which is about85% Hispanic. Teachers who don't teach within the program had at least half of their classes absent.

We did go on without you, though."<BR/><BR/>I'm still anxious to hear what the media has to say about the impact of the day overall.
