"No Child"

I feel as if "No Child" was a great play with the same outcome any other kind of genre would have. It has the feel good moment at the end which is great. But this play stereotypes way too much for my liking. Definitely shows that people with bad backgrounds don't perform as well, which isn't their fault. But where do we stop with the problems? The problem is that our public education system is flawed in the United States and always has been. We spend too much on defenses that we are so paranoid with after the 9/11 attacks. Everyone is in such a state of paranoia. There's no room for expression anymore, no room for freedom of speech. Especially in a country that worries more about terrorists than the domestic problems we have right on our own soil.

This topic is over examined in schools. We can learn more and more about our flawed school systems, but it won't change anything.
