"Parents, teachers, students and administrators packed the Weston High School auditorium Tuesday night to view the critically acclaimed education documentary “Race to Nowhere” and open the discussion on the major challenges facing today’s students.
The 85-minute film, which will be screened and discussed again Monday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium, focuses on the overwhelming expectations and pressures on students, the time commitment required to succeed and the effects of overwork.
“I think what stood out to me the most was that it was so relevant,” Weston High School junior, student representative to the School Committee and discussion-panel speaker Sophia Wirth said. “I think this video really reinforces and shows parents especially that this is a real issue that we have. It is not just something where - oh my kids are doing a lot of homework at night, or oh this is just normal teenage stuff. This is not just a normal teenage behavior to be spending four, five [hours a night doing homework].”
