            In this article “Philadelphia superintendent identifies schools he intends to close by: Kristin A. Graham. This article is about how the superintendent plans to close thirty seven schools and it would help them because it would help save their money that really messed up the school district and by closing the schools it would regain the money that they lost. This article includes quotes from the author and people from the school district. One quote that stuck out to me was “this is a historic moment” this sticks out to me because nothing like this ever happens and it will really be historic to people. I think that they should try to reduce the amount of schools that there closing because it would be more students in more school and that can cause trouble and confusion. The question I would ask is it not anything else they can do to regain the money that they lost rather than close thirty seven schools because I think they they should not do it because it can possibly mess up things. This article makes me think more about this topic because it’s getting more serious and this affects a lot of kids and kids might not want to go to different schools. This article makes me wonder what happened to the school district and when they lost all their money.
