There has been a story circulating the news recently of a mother suing her child's preschool because it did not prepare her child sufficiently for entrance into Harvard. For the majority of people living in smaller cities this news story is hard to believe and we take this woman for a crazy person. Recently though, Marc H. Simon and Matthew Makar directed a really insightful documentary entitled Nursery University on how exhausting and crazy the competition for admission into top preschools is in New York City. I think anyone who has a small child just entering preschool or who works at a daycare or private preschool should see this film. It is entertaining and unbelievable at the same time and will likely stir conversations on parenting and education. Probably the easiest way to view the film is to use Netflix's watch instantly feature. Enjoy!
