[quote=Anonymous]I'm recommending it in this forum as I think it touches on a lot of the academic, parenting issues we discuss here. Perhaps someone will see themselves in these parents and learn from their mistakes before it's "too late". The filmmakers are both Ivy league-educated. (Harvard and Stanford) What they thought would be a documented record of their son's successful life, beginning with his acceptance to the Dalton school (a training ground for the Ivy leagues) at age 5 ended up being a record of his sometimes highs, mostly lows, parental 'failures' and regrets--as well as an unfair indictment of schools like Dalton and their treatment of African-American males. We see these families go through the college application process with less than motivated sons-and the outcomes of the college decisions. It is an intriguing watch. If you haven't seen it already, head on over to pbs.org, watch it for free, then let's come back here and discuss. :P [/quote]
