Documentary Screening for Parents: Beyond Measure

10.21.16

Concerned about your overscheduled, exhausted, stressed out student? Join me at the screening of the film, Beyond Measure: What Counts Can't be Counted being shown at Regency Director's Cut Cinema at Rancho Niguel on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m.

The movie's director, Vicki Abeles, will be in attendance for a Q&A following the 80-minute documentary, a follow-up to her award-winning film, Race to Nowhere. This film starts an important conversation in our community about re-evaluating education, our children's health and wellbeing and the damaging effects of a culture focused on sameness and achievement. Tickets cost $15. You can register here.

This film highlights schools that are at the forefront of innovation and shows what they are doing to engage and inspire students.

Regency Director's Cut Cinema at Rancho Niguel is at 25471 Rancho Niguel Road in Laguna Niguel.

If you can't come to the screening or want to learn more, Ms. Abeles will be discussing her book, Beyond Measure: Rescuing an Overscheduled, Overtested, Underestimated Generation, the following morning, Wednesday, November 2 at 9:30 a.m. at Laguna Hills Community Center.  Her book presents ideas to both parents and schools about how we can take the pressure off our overwhelmed and anxious kids. 

Laguna Hills Community Center is at 2555 Alicia Parkway in Laguna Hills.
