Chicago Students Protest Closings, Standardized Tests 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Chicago was also the site Wednesday of a student walkout against
standardized testing. Organizers say more than 300 students at more than
25 Chicago public schools boycotted the second day of a state-wide
standardized exam. The student boycotters met up for a rally outside a
school district meeting where they also urged officials to stop the
planned closure of 54 Chicago schools.
