Negotiators trying to settle the Chicago teachers strike say more than 350,000 students could be back in the classroom by Friday.

 "We feel like we're in a pretty good place, we've made a lot of progress today," Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said as she left contract talks shortly before midnight Wednesday. "We spent a lot of time on evaluation. We still have a lot of work to do but it seems like we're definitely coming much closer together than we were certainly this morning."
