Tuesday afternoon, thousands of teachers and their supporters took to the streets downtown, demanding a fair contract. Some held posters that blamed President Barack Obama for the impasse.
“President Obama We Are Under Attack, Was This Your Plan When You Sent Rahm Back?” the posters said…
Meanwhile, the strike continues to leave parents frustrated.
“The bottom line is when you look at the facts, what are they really fighting for? Name three things they’re fighting for. They haven’t clearly articulated that to the parents. We’re part of the stakeholders in this too,” said Lee Earle, the father of twin boys who attend CPS schools. “I spent $240 in child care the last two days. I’m not happy about that, and I’m sure most parents can’t afford that. So if the teachers really care, show me how they’re taking care of my children.”
