Race To Nowhere (Screening at NAIS in Feb.)
http://www.racetonowhere.com/

From Patrick Bassett at NAIS:

“Race to Nowhere is a must-see documentary for parents, teachers and the young people we care for and work with, so that a new national dialogue can emerge around re-engineering school to meet its real purpose: to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for students to discover their passions and future without sacrificing their health, well-being, and youthfulness itself in the process.”

The potential for this device to take 30 to 40 pounds off the backs of our students is huge. I hope that K-12 publishers get going with textbooks for this and other devices.
