Kids Given the Boot- Seek Refuge in School

Busloads of displaced children arrived at local schools today, after parents sent them off to their first day of school. Dazed and confused, the kids walked aimlessly around, searching for new teachers and old friends. The familiarity of home being a distant memory, they sought refuge in the comfort of cafeteria food.

On the other side of town, a different story was unfolding. Whooping and hollering, parents could be seen rejoicing in their new-found freedom. Many took to the streets, dancing and singing. Local police, in riot gear, responded to the disturbance, but no arrests were made. They too joined the celebration, after the realization that the kids were not going to be out causing trouble- at least during the hours between 8am and 4pm. Many say that the celebration will die down, but others contend that it will last until Christmas vacation.
