Before we get started, I'd like to offer my deepest, sorry-but-not-sorry apology for TLO's lack of round the clock, "click me! click me!" coverage of the Teachers Walkout. Here are two good excuses:
1. TLO is not a traditional for-profit news site. Although we occasionally break stories, we like to document, digest and recap events from the sidelines. It's our niche and something we do well, but a constantly changing and developing news item like the the Teachers Walkout isn't very conducive to that style. It seems like every time I'd develop an angle or idea for a post, something would come along to change it. Now that things are winding down, we can step in and do our thing.
