School Days
Eliminating the Achievement Gap through Laboratory Schools
A Documentary Film by Tom Adams
We need your help to support this important documentary film.
America’s student achievement inequalities continue to widen while its record of success at closing this education gap is littered with good intentions and only minor successes. In the new documentary film School Days:, first-time filmmaker Tom Adams explores how the State of North Carolina took an old idea - the creation of focused laboratory schools - and tried to make it new again by addressing underlying issues that others had failed to consider. But their victory, and ours as a society, is anything but certain.
Will this North Carolina lab schools attempt be our last, best hope?
“Let us not be afraid to fail. Let us get out there and make it work. Because we can.”
— Rep. D. Craig Horn (R), North Carolina Legislature
“I think we largely know what to do. Our challenge is to find the will and the way...to do it.”
— Margaret Spellings, former President of UNC System and US Secretary of Education
