"My daughter had always been a good student. Always loved school. Then suddenly, in the fourth grade... just, kind of quit. She wasn't interested in school anymore. She'd struggle to get out of bed, she'd fake being sick. Getting her to complete her homework was a total battle."
So the documentarian and his wife requested a meeting with their daughter's teacher after a bad math test. They knew she wasn't working at the level she was capable of. Her mother asked her what she was feeling in math class. She said "I just look up, and I'm not interested."
The teacher explains to this little girl that she's building character, that when she gets to college things are going to get really tough, and she needs to learn "perseverance." She needs to learn what it means to "do her best."pic.twitter.com/geYuOFwx2b
"Now, later... I'll tell her that school seems meaningless now, but later, when she's applying to college or when she's looking for a job, she'll understand what this was all for. She needs to take this seriously now because one day, she'll see that this will all make sense..."
