The War on Kids (2009)

The War on Kids is a documentary film about the problems with schooling in the United States, and how problems are assigned to insufficient funding or the inherent failings of today’s kids.

In rare cases, parents, teachers, and administrators are also implicated.

However, all efforts to improve the quality of education in the U.S are doomed to fail if the system itself is not examined and understood to be the most significant impediment.

After six years in the making, The Ware on Kids reveals that the problems with the public education ultimately stem from the institution itself. Astonishingly all efforts at reform consistently avoid even considering this be a possibility and the future for children and the American democracy are at stake.
