What is Race To Nowhere about?

Race To Nowhere (RTN) was a film created to make us aware (and to challenge) how we are preparing our students for success. Race To Nowhere brings Communities together to start conversations about change in American Schools.

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. - See more at: http://www.racetonowhere.com/about-film#sthash.XoAGRUH2.dpuf
