"Flunked" is a full-length documentary designed to be both informative and entertaining, without compromising the truth of the crisis we are facing in education today. Most people are well aware of the declining test scores and competitiveness of the average American student, as well as myriad other problems facing education today. However, complaining about the problem, while easy to do, produces little productive results. Instead, "Flunked" focuses on many of today’s schools nationwide that are "getting it right"---attaining great results in terms of college preparation, high test scores, and graduating competent workers for tomorrow’s economy.Then, in the interest of sparking reform, "Flunked" examines how and why those schools are excelling: great curricula, great teachers, strong leaders, and a commitment to excel. This will not be a hit piece on teachers’ unions or the existing public school systems. Rather, it simply shows what is working throughout the U.S. and what people nationwide need to know is available.In other words, "Flunked" is all about solutions.
