If you do nothing else, watch the unintended consequences... I couldn't agree more with what the teachers and students said. This goes far beyond inner city schools mentioned in that segment but also reaches to every student. Maybe someone other than parents need to know what this test taking environment creates.

1. I'm a teacher and I've seen it

I see it in my students everyday. But honestly, at least in our situation, the parents are the ones who most need to see this movie. Teachers know (at least most of them at our school do), students know, parents don't really gasp the stress that their kids are under. At least that is my perspective.
