Hollywood is taking
education reform to the big screen with the release of Won’t Back Down—a movie about parents taking charge and demanding
educational options. Inspired by actual
events, the film tells the story of a mother and teacher fighting to take over
a failing public school under the parent trigger law.
The film is moving
and the message behind it is clear: parents know best.
Viola Davis, one of
the stars of film, says it best during her appearance on Jay Leno:
I am a parent. And as a parent, I have a child and I know that the only
way she’s going to get a part of the American Dream is through education. And
so if that great education is a public school, I’m going to send my kid to the
public school. If that great education is a charter school, I’m going to send
my kid to a charter school. If it’s a private school, I’ll send her to a
private school.
I think that it’s
about wanting do what’s best for your kid.
Make sure you check
out the movie for a truly moving story on why educational options are so important:
