Has Your Local Public School Flunked?

How is your public school district doing? Probably not as well as you think. A new movie, "Flunked," compares the performance of the American public school system with those of other nations and finds it wanting. Desperately.

Fortunately, it also finds some schools that are doing well, such as one in which 100 percent of its tenth-grade students passed the state assessment--even though for all of them, English is their second language.

If you're in the Denver area, you can watch Flunked at an event held by the Independence Institute on Wednesday, May 21. If you don't live near there, it will be making its way to a location near you.
