Not everyone hates strikes, of course. Lots of kids are happy to have the day off, and for commuters, trains and buses become a lot less crowded. But for parents, the normal workday routine gets disrupted. While most schools end up with a skeleton staff, not all parents are happy to send their kids in for an entirely unstructured day.
Anyway, I’m wondering: what tactics do Lifehacker readers use to deal with unexpected school strikes? Share your coping strategies and thoughts in the comments.
