for students in the cash-strapped district, not about putting more money in their pockets.
Chicago Teachers Union President Jesse Sharkey joined teachers picketing outside Helen Peirce International Studies school, where he said every kindergarten class has at least 30 students. He said there’s “pent-up frustration” among union members about conditions in the schools, and the union wants some of those longstanding issues addressed in their next contract.
During the 2012 strike, the district kept some schools open for half days during a seven-day walkout. District officials said this time they will keep all buildings open during school hours, staffed by principals and employees who usually work in administrative roles.Janice Jackson, the district’s CEO, encouraged parents to send their children to the school that they normally attend, however they will be welcome in any district schools.
At Thomas Chalmers Elementary School on the city’s west side on Thursday, about 25 teachers cheered and waved in response to cars and trucks honking in support, taking short breaks to replenish mugs full of hot coffee.
Seems Chicago teachers do this for exercise as many times as they strike. It's always about money or getting less work.
I must wonder how many school kids will get pregnant because school’s out and no responsible adult is home?
