Schooling - Is It For You is a great resource
for parents considering home education. It is also
an ideal tool for anyone desiring to promote the
numerous advantages of home schooling. It's a time
tested solution for the new millennium.
Misunderstood
Minds is a captivating documentary that unreels
like a topnotch drama -- you'll be on the edge of
your seat while having a series of "aha" moments.
The 90-minute production spends three years
following five families with children who struggle
with learning disabilities. One high-achieving
boy's strong memory masks his inability to read;
the parents of a middle-school girl who has trouble
focusing resist the solution (drugs). Not every
story is a clear success, and one Boston teen slips
through the cracks. The learning-problem experts
and teachers do a superb job making a complex
subject (children have "expressive language
deficiency" or an "output problem") entirely
understandable. Directed and produced by Frontline
filmmaker Michael Kirk and narrated by Nightline
correspondent Chris Bury, the show is powerful as
it trains the lens on these quotable kids and their
often-heartbreaking journey.
