"A Tale of Two Missions" -- a film by Juan Williams and Kyle Olson -- tells the story of competing cultures in American education through examples from Chicago.
While the fight for school choice rages across the nation, perhaps no better example exists than that of the Windy City. Traditional alliances are breaking down. Both political parties are pushing for education reform and expanded school choice. The status quo is under attack, because most reasonable people understand that thousands of Chicago students are trapped in failing schools.
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.
Being released during National School Choice Week, the film runs approximately 35 minutes and is geared towards generating 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.

Is it by accident, or careful PR, that only supportive comments are posted? Rahm has a strangle hold on the media already. The charter schools are under-performing. He's using the charters as incentives for his political backers.

Unlike the Chicago Teachers Union, we welcome all opinions.

This video is actually filled with erroneous information. Bummer Juan chooses to read words written for him without ever finding out if they are true.

I worked in a charter a few years ago. I was the only certified teacher in the school; I was the only certified Special Education teacher in the school. Some people were still working on getting degrees. The school used substandard curricula, one of which was a math program designed at U of Chicago, as an experiment. What charters do, with TAX dollars, is go into poor neighborhoods, show their glossy/shiny/pretty materials, and do a sales pitch. You know, like used car salesmen.

I have worked with parents and students from Noble Street and they are all unhappy with the experiences they've had there. The school charges hundreds of thousands in penalty fees to working parents for their kids wearing the uniform wrong or showing up late to school. Noble Street schools are failing and rank in bottom 50 AFTER traditional Chicago Public Schools. This is propaganda, not based on research.

As a conservative who wants further integration for minorities who has now heard Louis Farrakan's anti Semitic words recently at UC Berkley, I must say to all minorities, us fellow Americans need to do better on things. We can get "School Choice" done and empower young minority kids to be prosperous integrated AMERICANS and not empowered "Blacks" as some wish for. Even those of regular agenda politics who are filled with "White privilege" arguments are insulting themselves out of integration.
