Chicago Teachers Strike: Historic Walkout Enters Second Day (PHOTOS, LIVE UPDATES)

Striking Chicago Public School teacher Lanessa Mendoza pickets with fellow teachers from Peck Elementary School as Mayor Rahm Emanuel was visiting with students taking part at the Safe Haven program at Maranatha Church in Chicago, Monday, Sept. 10, 2012. The church is providing students with structured activities and a safe environment during the teachers' strike.

Representatives from the union and the district returned to the bargaining table Tuesday, but union President Karen Lewis says only six of 48 articles in the contract have been resolved.

She says it's "lunacy" to think a settlement could be reached Tuesday. School board officials insisted the two sides should be able to make an agreement.
