I've seen the film twice. While some might believe the content to be divisive, I believe it could invigorate all sides to honestly address the state of modern public education. The Salem chapter of Stand for Children is hosting a community discussion about this documentary on 11/16 (6:30pm, Clockworks Cafe). I plan to attend and encourage everyone to show up and be heard.
There is an important critique of this film by Diane Ravitch in The New York Review of Books. The article is titled "The Myth of Charter Schools" and is available on-line at:
