I spent yesterday afternoon with this documentary, and while it touched on themes I felt to be true, the quantification of the failure of our public schools was shocking to me. The bottom line is that the system is designed to protect teachers - not children - even if the teachers are ineffectual or incompetent.
It was a huge eye opener to me, and literally broke my heart. As a nation we are falling further and further behind, and are dooming hundreds of thousands of kids to a life of no hope all because the system set up to edcuate them is failing.
I implore you to watch this film.

Please feel free to include any thoughts you may have. Know, however, that kiddos might be reading this, so please keep the adult language to yourself. I know, for me to ask that language is clean is a stretch...
