Interesting new documentary

Saw this and thought it was interesting.  Wanted to pass along if anyone is interested!

There will be a screening of the documentary 'Race to Nowhere' on September 30th @ JSerra High School.

A synopsis of the film:
A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the culture of hollow achievement and pressure to perform that has invaded America's schools.

This remarkable new film shines a light on the price young people pay for this "race to nowhere." High stakes testing has replaced meaningful teaching and learning. Cheating is commonplace. Stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant. Many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
