Unschooled: Save Our Future (2013)
"Unschooled: Save Our Future"
This film really got me thinking. Our system is broken and we are failing the most vulnerable people among us. My heart goes out to these kids! The combination of a bureaucratic school system, poverty and broken families all contribute to a horrific dropout rate for inner city students. Kids who don't graduate from high school are going to have an even more challenging time breaking the cycle of poverty. Some of the students portrayed in the movie are suffering from poor decisions that they have made (such as having babies). But they seem to sincerely be trying to turn their lives around through education. I hope that we start cutting red tape in the school system and start putting students first. The film gives a unique perspective on the struggles of these kids. A real eye opener!
