If you’re an educator and haven’t seen the film The Pushouts, you should. The documentary follows Victor Rios, who examines a broken education system bringing attention to the fact that the kids society often refers to as “dropouts” are in reality, being “pushed out” by the system. Rios, a former gang member turned award-winning professor and speaker, calls on educators to quit labeling kids as “at-risk” and start saying “at-promise” to recognize their potential.
