FILM REVIEWS
As a teacher, I hope this gets out. Should be shown at every district, to every teacher, superintendent, administrator, parent, and anyone else ever involved in any school anywhere. Great documentary!
I am a teacher… in the failing system… this speaks so heavily to my soul… I want to teach in these innovative schools. I feel trapped by the system.
This is a documentary everyone should see. I knew our public schools were failing our kids but this was so eye opening. I loved how they reviewed schools that were working both here and abroad.
