This video provides your school with alternative strategies that address the needs of underachieving students and eliminate social promotion...without ending up with sixteen year olds in the eighth grade! If we put an end to social promotion, how can we address the facts that students learn at different rates? Do we want students retained year after year if they do not pass standardized tests? Do we really want 16 year olds in the eighth grade? This video provides the viewer with several alternatives to social promotion and retention. It shares the thinking of internationally renowned lecturer and best-selling author, Dr. William Glasser, who offers an alternative to social promotion based on quality instruction. Dr. Glasser explores why social promotion became so pupular in our schools, how difficult it will be to replace it, and what we need to do to change it. Minimize

Striving to ignite a patriotic flame in the hearts of 2- to 6-year-olds, America the Beautiful presents a 32-minute, flag-waving salute to all (good) things USA. The Mini Maestro method combines animated musical numbers featuring many patriotic songs, and cursory introductions to topics including freedom, opportunity, and democracy. Snippets from the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Pledge of Allegiance are spoken aloud by youngsters; computer- enhanced images of American icons and pastimes (from the Lincoln Memorial to a Texas rodeo) flash onscreen. School kids address questions like, "What is America all about?" and, "Do you know what you want to be (when you grow up)?"-- sometimes with hilarious answers. Kids who prefer higher-octane educational films (including cartoon favorites, like the Schoolhouse Rock series) may find the simple Mini Maestro animation rather bland; but America the Beautiful can--and has been--applauded for its contribution to a rather lonely genre. --Liane Thomas Minimize

It came out of nowhere to win the best documentary Oscar in 1980, and by now Best Boy should be acknowledged as one of the finest documentaries in film history. Filmmaker Ira Wohl took as his subject his own cousin, 52-year-old Philly, a retarded man who had lived his entire life with his parents. Seeing the physical decline of the parents, Wohl suggested they prepare Philly for living away from home for the first time in his life. This process becomes a beautiful and soul-stirring (and even hilarious) experience, as the people in Philly's life become indelible characters. Many fiction films try to manufacture a kind of movie "magic" out of fantasy, but Best Boy finds it in tiny steps forward, the delicacy of family, and the joy of singing (you may never hear "If I Were a Rich Man" the same way again). Through it all, the irrepressible Philly emerges as a rich man in his own terms. --Robert Horton Minimize
