This is a documentary film about the status of the education system in America.  

It shows the demise of the children in the low rates of graduates.  The movie says that 68% of students in America will graduate, that leaves a lot of students behind.  This film blames the high drop out rate on poor teachers that are protected by unions.

The solution that is posed is to enter your children into either a charter school or a private school.  For many low-income families, this means entering their children into an educational lottery to try and get into a charter school.  

I believe that no child's success should be left up to a lottery.  I believe in the power of individual teachers to motivate and influence the success of students.
