St. Catherine School’s Parent Club will host a film screening of “Race to Nowhere“, an up-close look at America’s school system and the pressures facing today’s students on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 7:00 pm at the school located at 8524 Eighth Ave. NE in Seattle.
Race To Nowhere features the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren’t developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what’s best for their kids, Race to Nowhere points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
After the screening, which will take place in the school’s Victoria Hall, a discussion will be facilitated by Jenell Kheriaty, Student Counselor at Seattle Preparatory School. Tickets for the film will be $10 in advance, sold online at http://rtnstcatherineofsienaps.eventbrite.com/, and $15 at the door.
