“Race to Nowhere” is an education documentary that challenges current thinking about how to best prepare our students for success.  It encourages us to rethink not only WHAT it is we are preparing our children for but HOW we go about doing it… and more importantly… WHY we do it.

I first viewed Race to Nowhere in an auditorium filled with parents and public school teachers and administrators at Austin High School.   I’m not sure there was a dry eye in the house.  And there were several angry educators.  This film endeavors to raise awareness and change public opinion about the educational institution much like “Supersize Me” strived to change the perception of the dangers of our fast food nation.  It temporarily satisfies the hunger, but the damage done over the long term is often irreparable.

It is an interesting study well worth the 85 minutes.  If you are interested in attending a viewing of this film, please contact me.  ~Carol
