My kids returned to school in late November for the first time since Halloween. For over three weeks, public school students of Portland, Oregon, were out of school due to an educator strike. During that period, our children missed 11 days of instruction. Portland Public Schools (PPS) is one of the in the Pacific Northwest, with over 49,000 students in 81 schools.
