"Race to Nowhere - The Darkside of America's Achievement Culture" - Film

Carolyn Lawson Low, Neighbor

Centreville Presbyterian Church presents a screening of the documentary "Race to Nowhere: The Darkside of America's Achievement Culture".

A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the culture of hollow achievement and pressure to perform that has invaded Americaʼs schools. It is destroying our childrenʼs love of learning and feeding an epidemic of unprepared, disengaged, and unhealthy students.

This remarkable new film shines a light on the price our kids pay for this "race to nowhere."
