"Race to Nowhere:" A Call to Action?

It's no secret that most Rivertowns parents put up with the sky-high taxes so that their kids can go to four of the best public school districts in the state. Students here have SAT scores as disproportionally high as the taxes, have countless honors, Advanced Placement—or International Baccalaureate—courses to choose from and lists of extra-curricular and athletic options as long as most colleges.

Recently, though, this high-pressure, high-achievement culture has come into question.  All Rivertowns PTSAs—with the exception of Hastings', which has had horrible luck with the weather—have screened the film Race to Nowhere, which follows the stories of teens who become burned-out, disengaged from their studies and, in some cases, clinically depressed because of this pressure-cooker environment. In the end, the filmmakers suggest, kids really aren't doing any better as a result of their rigorous schedules. 

So the million-dollar question is:  How should schools respond? Do you think this is this really a problem?
