1 + 1 = 11?

Shhhhh...Courtney doesn't know that I'm going to sneak this one in.

After she'd gone to bed, Bobbie and I decided to get another film in. We curled up under the down comforter and hit the play button on the DVD player remote and we began to watch a documentary titled:



This is a startling look at our education system and some of the systems pit falls. An unabashed look into the infrastructure and the hierarchy of our schools and the processes that define the programs are the topics on hand. In layman's terms, we are allowed to see how Charter and Kipp schools work and why they are successful and why the 1950s education model may not be the best choice in this day and age. Industry leading C.E.O.s also leave their statement as to what the economy will need from our up coming students to be functioning members in our ever changing world.

This documentary is not skewed to any political side or argument. A solid view from the directors research, this film will have you questioning the craft, the motives and the results of the department that we pay for and utilize for the mental growth of our young people. It will also have the viewer question if they've done enough for the unhindered progress of the nation's young people.

A hard nosed film that takes no prisoners, this film should be viewed with your teens-if you should have any-to allow for a more broad perspective about making the right choices about schools and why it's important to be studious.

This is a great reel that rivals other such as; The Cove and Super Size Me.

Well done, and informative, this one ranks 6 out of 10 broken pencils.
