FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, v57 n2 p167-178 2015
This article describes how the Chicago schools system has been bedeviled by the social conditions faced by the city's inhabitants, and now by attempts to use privatization and school closures as the "solution" to those problems. The article describes how teachers in the Chicago Teachers' Union combined with community members to challenge the neo-liberal restructuring of the city's schools.
