I only got a chance to watch the first segment of this documentary and came away thinking how differently I would have viewed it before I discovered the challenges that come with navigating the school system to help my DS get the best situation possible. I don't know how the rest of the segments progressed, but what I saw were parents who are devoted to getting the best for their children in a bad situation. If I had watched this last year, I might have thought them to be "pushy parents" wink but now, I am just in awe of the challenges they are faced with.

I also came away thinking how sad it is that there are schools out there that 80% of the children read below grade level. It seems that we are failing entire generations of children. If I was looking at a school with a track record like that, I would definitely be jumping through any and all hoops to avoid sending my child there.
