Trailer here.

Release Date: September 24th, 2010 (LA/NY)

Directed by: Davis Guggenheim 

Premise: The film follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Undertaking an exhaustive review of public education, surveying "drop-out factories" and "academic sinkholes," methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.
"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art." - Andy Warhol

I saw this on Sunday and I'm glad I did. Stylistically it's not great, but it's very digestible for a film with as much quantitative information as it has. It's also a fairly ham-handed, not as "smart" as I would have hoped, but again I'm glad I saw it. My family is full of teachers, and I'd really love it if they could be part of a better system.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.
