It has only six students, but in Wyoming, education funding is redistributed so that students can have access to similar resources, no matter how small or remote their location.

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.

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.
