0:00.0	Education this week is a weekly newsletter for parents navigating schools
0:04.4	in Chicago and the suburbs from reporters at WBEZ and the Chicago Sun Times.
0:09.6	Sign up now just in time for back to school at WBEZ.org slash education news.
0:20.0	From WBEZ Chicago, this is Nervat. I'm Greta Johnson. We did it. We made it to another weekend.
0:26.0	Coming up, we are going to check in with a music critic about a good old heap of music news,
0:30.4	including why the heck concert prices are so high these days. The experience of going to a concert
0:35.8	should not be so traumatic, you know. Also, what is the song of the summer? My vote is on I'm
