Huelga

Huelga is the spanish word for strike. You just learned more than the public school kids did today because the school year started off on the right foot today with a strike. The teachers still haven't been paid for all of last year. Fortunately most of the kids at the casa go to private school so for them it was a normal day but the 11 kids who go to public school did not go for the first day. It is a shame that this happens every year, far too frequently.
