Race to Nowhere: the dark side of America's achievement culture- All parents and teachers need to see this!

I saw this movie when it came out, and now it is actually showing at schools and other community venues.  I think all parents and teachers need to see this film and think critically about how it plays out in their child/school's life.  As an educator I have seen the dark side of America's growing achievement and individualistic culture, and I saw this before I ever saw this movie.  I highly recommend this movie, whether one agrees with the points or not, it is important to at least reflect on the ideas.
