Race to Nowhere

Free Special Screening
February 23rd
 
A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the high-sakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children’s lives.
 
This remarkable new film shines a light on the price young people pay for this “race to nowhere.” High-stakes testing has replaced meaningful teaching and learning. Cheating is commonplace. Stress related illness, depression and burnout are rampant. Many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
 
Attend the Thursday, February 23, 2012 6:30pm screening at Shawnee Mission East in the auditorium and become a part of the grassroots phenomenon that is feeding a groundswell for change.
