Public education has been an American value since before the Revolution, and it has, to put it mildly, weathered its share of storms. While the decentralized nature of our schools has allowed flexibility, creativity, and reform to take hold more swiftly than in other cultures, it has also allowed great inequities to become entrenched. With local property taxes the usual basis for funding, this is a system of 'Them that's got shall get, Them that's not shall lose.' James Takata's documentary We the Parents chronicles the fight to pass and test California's 'parent trigger' law, which provides a mechanism for parents to take on a failing school, possibly firing the principal or handing it over to a charter-school company. Takata masterfully tells a tale of struggling families in Compton who want more for their young children than the woefully inadequate instruction they apparently get at their local elementary. These poor, non-college-educated parents, just like those in the suburbs, see great potential in their children and believe they're entitled to a good, even excellent, education. Takata shines a light on people's lives as they realize what power they have. Even in his news-feature style, he provides suspense, heartache, victory, defeat, hope. We the Parents is a must-see civics lesson, an example of the power of grassroots organizing and of having a good lawyer, and of how seemingly small ideas can make big waves.

As the debate over the state of America's public school system rages on, one thing everyone agrees on is the need for great teachers. Yet, while research proves that teachers are the most important school-based factor in a child's future success, America's teachers are so woefully underpaid that almost two thirds must divide their time between a second job in order to make a living.
Chronicling the stories of five teachers in different areas of the country, American Teacher reveals the frustrating realities of today's educators, the difficulty of attracting talented new teachers, and why so many of our best teachers feel forced to leave the profession altogether.
But this wake-up call to our system's failings also looks at possibilities for reform. Can we re-value teaching in the United States and turn it into a prestigious, financially attractive and desirable profession? With almost half of American teachers leaving the field in the next ten years, now is the time to find out.

Many say Singapore has the best education system in the world. This film shows how this system has produced such amazing results and how it differs from the educational philosophy as practiced here in the United States.
The system acknowledges that not everyone is “college material” and steers students into the appropriate training or educational course.The film follows the inspiring stories of two Singaporean school children facing the highest stakes exam of their lives - the primary school leaving exam, or PSLE. It determines where you go to secondary school - and in credential-driven Singaporean society, it is a grade that stays with you for life. We see the hard studies, the tears, the testing grind, the passes and the failures - and learn the surprising way success-driven Singapore handles academic failure -- in a country where the ‘Tiger’ mom or dad is nothing new. This is an in-depth look at high-stakes testing - and how it affects the lives and psyches of the children.

John Bayley's at Lampton School in Hounslow to help NQTS with a range of behaviour management issues. After just six weeks teaching, NQT Amy Mayes is exhausted. She finds classroom management tiring, and is looking for strategies to make it less taxing. John Bayley observes her teach a year 10 media studies class and suggests she reduces the load by talking less and sharing the classroom management more with her class. At the end of the lesson, another typically exhausting problem emerges - persuading reluctant students to listen to each other's final presentations. Bayley suggests Amy looks for a solution by considering things more from the student's perspective.

An outstanding primary school begins the transition to being a new style academy, with the headteacher sharing his experiences and outlining his concerns as well as what he sees as the advantages of academy status. South Farnham School headteacher Andrew Carter talks about the process of becoming an academy and why they haven't signed on the dotted line yet. He also explains the paperwork involved and how the school has consulted with staff and parents.
Andrew explains the importance of having a chartered accountant as the school's bursar and predicts that his governors will be ready to give the go-ahead change to academy status within the year.
It is the new freedom of academy status that appeals to the school. Ideas being considered include opening up the school 48 weeks of the year, creating a gifted and talented music school, and encouraging good teachers to stay with bonus payments.

South Farnham School headteacher Andrew Carter talks about the process of becoming an academy and explain that it's been a stop-start affair. The latest delay has them awaiting a decision from a local infants school who are considering merging with them. Sue Shoveller, deputy head, talks about how the LA have been helping them to clarify what would happen if they do go out as an academy. She points out that the LA's buyback financial arrangement are under threat if schools leave their care. Phil Austen-Jones, assistant headteacher, is thinking about VAT, maternity, buildings insurance and personnel issues. South Farnham is an early adopter so their governing body is looking at all the details before agreeing to academy status. Andrew introduces us to his school bursar - the key member of his academy planning team. Claire Booth talks about the importance of having systems in place from the start, so that the school's budget can deliver as much as possible for the children.
