The Half Hollow Hills PTA Council & HHH CSD present the movie "Race to Nowhere," along with a panel discussion. This compelling documentary focuses on the stress endured by our school children as they confront the pressures of school work, after school activities, and the expectations of our achievement focused culture.
A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children's lives.
Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace; students are disengaged; stress-related illness and depression are rampant; and many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
