Still No School

        For the past week, students in public schools in Chicago have been out of school due to the skrite that the teachers are holding. While many families throughout the city were expecting and hoping that school would be back in session by this Tuesday, a Cook County judge holds off on ending the strike. The judge decided to schedule a court hearing on Wednesday morning instead of immediately hearing arguments from Chicago school officials today. Many school officials are concerned about the strike and are calling this dispute illegal and dangerous.
          Tomorrow will be the 6th day of school that these children have missed throughout the past week. Not only is this delaying the learning schedule, but these children are being denied a safe environment to attend on day to day basis that also provides food throughout the day. In addition, the parents of these children have had to either take off work or hire people to look over  their children while they are gone. Not only is this unacceptable for the parents to be forced to do this, but it is also taking money out of their wallets for something that is beyond their control.
          Last Friday, both sides reached a somewhat agreement, although the teachers union stated that in order to end this strike, it would require the House of Delegates' approval. In my opinion, this dispute has gone on long enough and these children should be back in school receiving the education that the Chicago public schools should be offering. What do you think should be done about the strike, and when do you think it is going to be resolved? To read more about this read the article:
