'Race to Nowhere' Screening

It's a little out of bounds, but as the neighbor who emailed the information about an upcoming movie screening notes, there are a lot of local kids who attend the Brooklyn School of Inquiry, where the screening is being held. A press release describes "Race to Nowhere" as a documentary that hopes to change the national dialogue on education:

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, creating unhealthy, disengaged, unprepared and stressed-out youth. Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people in all types of communities who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren’t developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what’s best for their kids, 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.
