Chicago parents leaned on family, friends and community groups as 25,000 teachers in the nation's third-largest school district went on strike this week, canceling classes for more than 300,000 kids.

for schools, including nurses and social workers, written into the contract along with ways to enforce those changes.

CPS buildings remained open on regular schedules, staffed by principals and nonunion employees and prepared to provide students with breakfast and lunch. Samantha Gutierrez said her daughter preferred the YMCA where she goes regularly in contrast to the school now staffed by people she doesn’t know well.

Parents whose jobs have inflexible scheduling and keep them on tight budgets that won’t cover admission prices for a variety of “strike camps” planned around the city were forced to find alternative plans. While some relied on family members, others turned to the city’s churches and nonprofit groups for help.

Probablly takes a toll on children's education as well.

That’s kinda the point, right? Get the parents upset enough, and maybe you’ll get enough of them to petition the city to give the teachers what they need to do the job right, and have a life outside the classroom.

That the point. Parents have more power. Do the right thing &pay us what we are worth! Or do you value your child less than every thing else? Our working conditions are a child's learning conditions. Give us nurses & social workers. Buy supplies. IN ♥️

The union couldn't care less about the kids. They're just trying to steal more taxpayer money. Too bad there isn't any. CPS only has $12 billion of unfunded pension liabilities.

Chicago has been run by Democrats for years. This is the result.

Then pay the teachers right!

Exactly the reason why teachers throughout the country should strike and demand better wages and free lunches for students. Teachers can shut this country down. Know your power.

Students first. lol
