Renaissance 2010: From the Front Lines is a documentary film about the threat to the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union, stemming from privatization and charter school expansion. The film explores the motives and interests driving changes in the educational system by talking with teachers from both traditional and charter schools, students, educational experts and community members impacted by these decisions.
The best coverage of Renaissance 2010 and other educational reform atrocities in Chicago (and across North America) can be found in Substance News and the Substance News Blog.
Substance is a monthly investigative journal that reports on the public schools. Though based in Chicago for the past 30 years, Substance also reports on national education issues including No Child Left Behind. Substance is the only newspaper to combine teaching experience with the tenacity of reporting to tackle the problems facing the country’s education system.
