The teachers union in Chicago went on strike last week after months of negotiations failed to produce a deal on pay structure, seniority, dealing with low performing schools and implementing teacher evaluations. Meanwhile, the plan to transform Cleveland's schools -- tackling the same issues -- sails along with union and management side-by-side. What's their secret? What about other Ohio districts? Host Mike McIntyre leads the discussion Wednesday morning at 9 on the Sound of Ideas.
