By exposing a nationwide epidemic of an achievement race that can’t be won, the movie,
Race to Nowhere, could become a catalyst for change. After seeing and discussing the movie, parents, teachers, and school administrators along with local, state and federal government leaders, could be moved to start what Sir Ken Robinson calls an “
education revolution” –not just fixing (reforming) what’s broken, rather starting a revolution–the creation of an education system that fills the human spirit.
We need to start with the question: “What kind of person are we trying to create?”, then race to build an education system that answers that question.
