Teachers in Chicago, home of the third-largest public school system in the country, went on strike on Monday. The labor disagreement marks one of the most high-profile battles over education reform to date. It's a debate that's pitted teachers unions against local governments across the country, including in D.C. We examine the issues in dispute, and what's at stake for the broader national debate in Chicago.

Reform needs to take place such as some teachers may teach more than double the students than others and get the same pay. Also a physical education teacher gets paid the same as a science or math teacher. No wonder science and math teachers are hard to come by.
