Garfield schools in NJ closed due to the strike

Today all Garfield public schools in NJ were closed due to the strike out having to do with signing the contract. Do you think they have a right to do it just like that? I mean parents have to work. Where do you think they will decide over one night where to leave their children. There is really two sides to it. I think Garfield teachers have every right to do it because I mean these are their jobs but on the second thought this should have been kind of like more like thought over. They are not just going to leave all these children on the schools' doorsteps right? I think they should also think about their students as well. I understand that they did it because of their jobs but come one think a little more people. Where do children come in all of this?!
