School Reform: “A Tale of Two Missions”
Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 12:00 PM “A Tale of Two Missions” is a short film by Juan Williams and Kyle Olson and tells the story of competing cultures in American education through examples from our neighbor to the south--Chicago.
But the education establishment, led by the radical Chicago Teachers Union, is not willing to give an inch to allow better choices for underserved students. And the union still has enough money, influence and legal standing to make reform efforts difficult to implement.
The film features the Noble Street College Prep charter school and the amazing results its teachers and leaders are delivering for students and parents of Chicago. It also exposes the entrenched educational establishment bent on stifling school choice options and preserving its monopoly on state education dollars.
This thoughtprovoking film runs approximately 30 minutes and was created togenerate discussion about the role of our schools and what obstacles can be overcome when school culture is focused on student success rather than adult demands.
