7:00pm–Discussion Leader: Mr. Rick Holmes, Opinion Editor, Metrowest Daily News.Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education “statistics” have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation for this film. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, and its seemingly intractable problems. Discussion follows. Refreshments.
