05/04/2018 Most Likely to Succeed [2015] See more 12/18/2016 Another flawed generalization that pre-assumes: 1) public schools are failing; 2) what works at one school works across the country; 3) what works for some students work for all students; 4) what sounds reasonable is reasonable. Social studies are NOT sciences, because they don't do control experiments. And the moneyed interests have succeeded in convincing Americans that their public education system is rotten to the core, so privatization through vouchers and charters are the answers. Meanwhile, hedge funds are pouring millions to bankroll "reform" groups and movies like these, to privatize one of the last remaining sectors intended for the public good.

The producer was there, and he talked a little bit before the movie started. I will always have this film as a memory of this special event. As for the movie itself, it's an incredibly intriguing documentary about how American education can and possibly should evolve. It made me think about the future of education, my future, and the future of American children and how they are going to be education educated. I never thought I would be so invested in a movie involving education and statistics. This film is at times funny, emotional, intriguing, and all around got me on many levels. This is one of the most intriguing films I've seen in a long time and if you could find a way to see this film I highly recommend it. See more Read all reviews
