A new documentary called "Race to Nowhere" is bringing up some controversial questions about school and the workload given to students. Although not widely released, the movie has been steadily rising on peoples "must see" list for the holidays. The film talks about various students who are dealing with the day to day pressures of homework, work, and outside activities that take up most of their day. One high school senior remarked, "Everyone expects us to be superheroes". In today's competitive society it is getting harder and harder to get into college and get a decent job. If the economy continues to fall, it could be like this for a while. As long as their are more and more people entering the workforce, the competition will remain the same.
