    Chicago Teachers Strike...Not at my home!

    By tselone  |  Posted September 11, 2012  |  Chicago, Illinois
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     tselone says his boys are in 6th and 12th grade (their sister is 2 1/2 but loves spending time with her brothers). He says he supports the teachers and hopes they 'get all they deserve.' Though he is disappointed that the strike is keeping them out of school, they do a lot of learning at home. 'My wife and I always push our children to do more. We always give them extra activities to do because we live in a gang infested area and without an education and proper parental guidance, our kids would be lost.'
    - dsashin, CNN iReport producer

    This is the second day of CPS strike in Chicago and at my home no assignment goes undone...lol.

    As a parent, classroom instructions do not end or start at school...they begin at home.

    I have 2 boys who are not receiving a proper education because two sides of opposing forces are not getting along. I hope this ends soon.
