New York City schools are crazy!

I'm a big documentary fan, and a few things I have watched lately have really made New York City schools seem super crazy. I recommend the following to explore the topic (these are all quite good):

The Lottery (2010)
Nursery University (2008)
Nightline broadcast April 13, 2012, video here
