Teave selle filmi kohta

Featuring the heartbreaking stories of students across the country who have been pushed to the brink by over-scheduling, over-testing and the relentless pressure to achieve, 'Race to Nowhere' points to a silent epidemic in our schools. Through the testimony of educators, parents and education experts, it reveals an education system in which cheating has become commonplace; students have become disengaged; stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant; and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.

While the doc is shot verbatim, the cause it is behind creates a real tension and drive that will be powerful enough to keep you going on the topic for days.

I love to read the teacher's opinions on the high school education system. really good opinions. even they may not be practical.
