Well, they were right about the thought control. But we really do need education--and desperately. America spends more on education than any other large industrialized country--and yet American students are falling way behind the kids in other countries. Our kids can't read, they can't write, they can't calculate, and they aren't much good at science either. And it's going to come back to bite us--at home and abroad--if we don't do something fast.
This does not have to be a tragedy. We know what to do. All we have to do is emulate the schools, and the teachers, that are the exceptions to the dismal educational rule.
This is the subject of Flunked, a new film aimed at igniting positive, constructive, immediate change in our educational system.
Watch the trailer. And help spread the word about this important new film.
