...expert on the school system here. However, it seems to me that children in this country are not valued for their talents if those talents are not directed at a college education. College is not for everyone, yet those who don't have a college education appear to be seen in this country as failures. Maybe it's time for people to stop living their lives through their children and find out what their children really want to do with their lives...

They have chosen their bus, and their home-schooled children are both smarter and less anxious than the Munro kids. On the other hand, if we are truly an open society, we have to be open to learn to reserve judgment, to entertain the possibility that things (and people) are not necessarily what they seem at first glance to be. That thought sometimes applies to movies...
