Subject: Race to Nowhere, tomorrow night
Please announce to all of your students, and promote to your friends, colleagues, community members!
The Department of Educational Leadership is hosting a screening of the documentary film
"Race to Nowhere: the Darkside of America's Achievement Culture."
Tuesday, October 26, 2010 in McGuffey Auditorium (Rm 322)
7:00- 9:00 PM (viewing and dialogue)
Free!
Please register if you plan to attend @ http://www.rtnmiamiu.eventbrite.com
For information about the film, and to view the trailer, check out www.racetonowhere.com <http://www.racetonowhere.com>
Director Vicki Abeles turns the personal political, igniting a national conversation in her new documentary about the pressures faced by American schoolchildren and their teachers in a system and culture obsessed with the illusion of achievement, competition and the pressure to perform. Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren't developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what's best for their kids, Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
