Our national conversation about education reform often focuses on the need to improve schools in urban communities.  But the Pacific Research Institute’s new documentary film – Not As Good As You Think: The Myth of the Middle Class School – exposes an overlooked reality in American education: middle class schools are not as good as parents think.  This documentary highlights serious problems as well as promising solutions for improving educational opportunities for all children.

Join us for a 45-minute screening of this groundbreaking film
followed by a discussion with Lance Izumi and Nick Tucker.
