No classes today in Cordoba for 1000 students... because the janitor was sick

Most students have fantasised about arriving at school to find it closed, either to avoid a test, go home for more sleep, or simply to earn a day off midweek. The dream materialised today for more than 1,000 students in a traditional public school of Cordoba, who had no classes because the janitor, who alone had the keys, did not arrive for work.

The unusual incident occurred this morning at the school Alejandro Carbó. Teachers and students crowded outside the door of the institution waiting for the janitor to open the doors. But that never happened. The man was sick and no one could communicate with him ... he was the only one with keys.

As a result, all morning school students were sent home.

To make matters worse, the headmistress was also sick, so the authorities of the Directorate of Secondary Education authorized to force the doors of the school, that occupies an entire city block and is home to nearly two thousand students.
