Two Million Minutes: A Global Examination

A short trailer for the 54-minute documentary video "2 Million Minutes" is on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZnSG6gg1vs&feature=player_embedded. There are approximately 2,000,000 minutes from 8th grade to graduation. How students spend their two million minutes (studying, playing sports, attending school, working, socializing, etc.) is examined in several high schools in China, India and the United States. This is an excellent resource for discussions with staff, community and the school board. The trailer is online. The full video is available for checkout from the Heartland professional library, #255787.
