Movie Haiku:Rich saw a sincere attempt to address the crisis in the American public school system thru the eyes of 5 families fighting an uphill battle while hoping for better options. Jan saw a simplistic heart-tugger that idolized male "White Knights" & demonized the teachers unions (with a misogynistic edge that drove her nuts).
