How much homework is too much? Are Advanced Placement courses necessary? These are some of the questions you may be asking after you view this documentary. LJCA showed this film in fall 2010, but the issues still resonate on campus and in homes throughout our community. For more about the film, visit the Race to Nowhere website. The film will be followed by a panel discussion. Parents and secondary-level students are encouraged to attend. To purchase tickets, http://www.racetonowhere.com/
