School's Out for Chicago

          Four hundred thousand students are out of school until further notice. The reasoning behind it is that the teacher of the country’s third largest school district went on strike after their union and school officials failed to come to a contract agreement after ten months of discussion. This walk out is the first in twenty five years for Chicago. With no school for the students of Chicago the parents are worried about their kids. "If the kids are not in school, they're out getting into some kind of trouble ... when they should be in school, learning."
