this is more like a speech documented on film rather than what you'd call a "movie" though

I never watch a single movie twice, this one 5 times. Why this makes so match sense to me I can not explain. I just hope it make sense to others too.

Children should be exposed to and encouraged to be involved it playing music,reading,Art and writing as much as possible.

As a parent I found the public school system to be an assembly line education. They screw up a kid and that's OK as we just keep sending them more kids.
They want parents to be involved making brownies and selling wrapping paper but to truly be involved is a no no.
I pulled my kids out of the public school system.
I was able to get them into a local Charter School and what a night and day difference.
A place that takes advantage of my children's myriad strengths.
It's wonderful.

Thanks for saying I'm the real problem. I used to be the guy in class whoplayed with forks and knifes during a lesson. I used to draw all day and make music on my sax. then i combined math with my creative skills. so yeah, i guess i am the problem. thank you for helping me realize what a terrible person i am.
