Great documentary. But inspired and guided by Sir Michael Barber (aka Mr Targets) behind 'Deliverology' that trashed education in the UK. Barber now works for McKinseys and is trying to export this failed method around the world.

@KazzieLove1 Sorry but the education system is far from nurturing. It stuffs children full of information but refuses staunchly to draw out what is inside them. It systematically destroys and opresses imagination teaching young people to be afraid of being creative and to be afraid of their own sense of self.

Oh for heavens sake, another documentary could show graduation ceremonies, because education works for some and not for others. The UK education system is amazing and nurtures and teaches children, some parents - don't. Education is a convenient scapegoat for them. *Sigh*
