After what was to be the second week of school for many, teacher strikes continued to affect some 600,000 students nationwide. Talks here aimed at ending a walkout affecting 220,000 students were still stalemated, and other Pennsylvania districts were also affected by strikes. In San Jose, Calif., picketing became ugly, with confrontations reported between strikers and 1,100 substitutes hired by the district. Strikes also continued in West Chicago; Columbus and other areas in Ohio; and suburbs of Seattle. Tentative settlements have been reached in Rochester, N.Y.; Barrington, Ill.; and several Rhode Island districts.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
