The Washington Post (10/8, George) reports that the documentary "Race to Nowhere" has become "a growing grass-roots phenomenon in the achievement-minded Washington area and beyond." According to the Post, the film "has raised difficult questions about how to raise well-adjusted children at a time when schools seem test-obsessed, advanced classes are the norm and parents worry that their sons and daughters will not go as far in life as they have. ... The film is attracting notice from New York to California, where mom-turned-filmmaker, Vicki Abeles, a 48-year-old lawyer, launched the documentary project as she set out to understand the stresses her children, now ages 16, 14 and 11, were experiencing."
