After reading a number of good notices, I looked forward to this documentary. I was extremely disappointed since it superficially reviewed the flawed education system. I realize that the focus of the film was human interest in describing the lives of children affected by the flawed education system, but this did not make the film consistently interesting as there was little context to understand why the system is failing.
As a side note: Any unions first interest is its members and the teachers unions do that. The scene at the national convention displays the hypocrisy, "the union represents the interests of children".
What is important about the failure of education is the internal politics, the external politics, and misguided exercises use education to solve other problems in today's society. Too bad that the film did not explore how this aspect of education has failed our children.
