As teachers continue to strike in Chicago, students have 5 days of school. One teacher, Anna Lane, found a way to incorporate the strike into her lesson plan. Days before the strike, Lane began to implement labor history into her curriculum. She facilitated conversations with her students about the issues at stake, and allowed them to voice their opinions on the matter. Other teachers throughout Chicago’s public schools took actions similar to Lane and used the strike as a tool to teach. As a result many students have taken direct action and joined teachers on the picket lines.
