<p>I have seen Race to Nowhere but not Waiting for Superman. I was not a fan of Race to Nowhere. The families in the movie seemed to be super stressed out and blamed school (and only school) for their stress, but not their other life choices such as extracurriculars, Facebook, etc. A lot of the kids featured were not top students and I felt that they contributed to their own stress by having unrealistic goals.</p>
<p>One group advocated for a no homework policy – all the time. As an earlier poster referenced, it was too “Kumbaya-ish” for me.</p>
<p>What was most interesting for me was the discussion that followed the film.</p>
