You’re Invited

The Montclair Public Schools, the Montclair Counseling Center and the Montclair State University Network for Educational Renewal invite you to attend a public screening and conversation for the new documentary:

Race to Nowhere
The Dark Side of America’s Achievement Culture by Vicki Abeles

Film Synopsis:
A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children’s lives. Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace; students are disengaged; stress-related illness and depression are rampant; and many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired. Race to Nowhere is a call to action for families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
