For a lot of parents and kids, the past year and a half of on-and-off virtual “learning” has revealed a lot of weaknesses in our education systems, our government and our society. Crises have a way of stripping us bare. But crises also create opportunities—to re-imagine, re-invent and repair. </p><p class="" style="color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">That’s why the timing for the nationwide release of <em class="">The Smartest Kids in the World </em>movie is kind of perfect. Just in time for the back-to-school season, this film is a window into what could be—if American high schools learned from the smartest school systems in the world and listened to students, who know what they need better than anyone else. (Plus, for those of us who haven’t traveled in 17 months, it’s just downright delightful to see so many far-flung places, food and people, captured so beautifully in this film.)</p><p class="" style="color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">Inspired by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJxFUUuPnDAM_jXkNihvyCGHlaq59Nhd9YgCMUxUSFASdkR_fc3MoZJlK7Hs7-HJVVhSPu2eSiVXGuq5g43wLCvUCpkcBfIQvFUd04xK4q30rFc9CWWYM8DmwmprPoDsx7iGydWQ4jXAdSdMTx5WcMr72TvmjRO6n0ZNx44DVZMywoF847rDB4gTWPiGfKYIZLWPWvfSiI-G3zGez2frNvc3xXZKG3782lyuUOrtZ_Dl9jvl1d8-H3BichX7fsfEpGJaScnZtUXcBwRJPsSlET--Pu99wzVGyfhsuMjgPOr9P0SCRfqM9swwzYUyLWspwDypGWalGe-M82x2kkmuUGknZmgk3RbelmMs1U1_LrYk2x2W5cTWqz7SurmXjsu2Aet2xFBPZOfGFfzb0fq-y8vjYYEIGe_lB1ctcjHCUC4Z1fxtIFoujKGd6QxBaJ9wKlo0LHqXw77C-Q-ViaEa" class="" style="color: rgb(26, 26, 26); text-decoration: underline;">my 2013 book</a>, the award-winning filmmaker<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJwlUMtuxCAM_JrlGPFMwoFDL_sbkQMmi0ogAtIq_fqyG8myLY_s8YyFhlsulzlybeSdlnYdaBL-1oitYSFnxbIEZ9TERkYlcUY6NquZhLr4grhDiKaVE8lxrjFYaCGn9wIfJ6Fn8jIo5MTXGajX3I101avjswA9g5BOKHbzwukCJosGf7BcOSGJ5tXa8RBfD_7s0QrYy5X815st18HmvU9JMJxyRmem2ciF0gMbKKK3yqNXI-OTBsc8SCa5EpxOwuND0n3jQz3X2sB-vy-RYg7ctqtDn_rKcYf0Qbqspdf9TKFdCyZYI7pbcbt9-3iwbJiwdD_dAs30X7TQlEtGR34L7JYIremkJ006tct9KxnoNA5KOCJe_w5YhWg" class="" style="color: rgb(26, 26, 26); text-decoration: underline;">Tracy Droz Tragos</a>found and followed four new American teenagers to four countries for one school year. The film transports us, alongside these remarkable students. We get to watch Jaxon hold a yard sale in rural Wyoming so he can raise the money to go to the Netherlands. We get to see Simone travel from the Bronx to South Korea, where just navigating the subway is a herculean achievement. We listen in as these kids reveal their hopes and fears to their new friends and host families in their borrowed countries. We discover what they miss about America—and what they don’t. It is a dazzling, mind-opening ride, and you emerge with a new imagination for what is possible.</p><div class="captioned-image-container-static" style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center;"><figure class="" style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px auto; width: 550px;"><table class="image-wrapper" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin: 8px auto;"><tbody class=""><tr class=""><td class="" style="text-align: center;"></td><td align="left" class="content" width="294" style="text-align: center;"><a class="image-link" target="_blank" href="https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJxVUsuunDAM_ZphB8oLQhZZXFXqbyCTOAy9kNAk3Fv69fUMq0qR7dg6Pn45qLikfNkjldq8xFSvA23E77JhrZibs2CeVm97zQfOVOOt8nzsx2YtU8iIO6ybrfnE5jjnbXVQ1xRfADFoacbmaUfmjDL9OASlnA8-DEYgh9kAGxFcuHnh9CtGhxa_MF8pYrPZZ61HeciPh_hJz_nYlXMuFdxn59JOrnWHBUkHrO750pSmpof48fs25MeSkqd_2KYjpyVjKesXkr9UxIMQN4XoXyT9i4bEfLpPpHhukfXz7EbVzgCyVVJja3o-tuBnKWbU2oyqK7KDHf6mCN_lroty3MN4m-8iy9tk6B1zAC3vtWsVZ9gCwNCqATzHEYcBzcQFY3-41rL7deDSrFYwwdnIDR-E7E3HO4YYXB8w9AMX2hA2gOKKuhBMy4APxfZF_DesJltKtlwUeutn2naI7wiVOpHez7jWa8II84b-Xmm9D-O95GnBiJkOxk9QLdVipGGCehjEvUHauTSGaaNNQ9Q-ESpaGk30kNdjw-sfpgPLdA" style="border: none; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; width: auto;"><img data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0edc0caa-157c-410e-aaa6-46ad1e8e66e9_1200x1773.jpeg","height":1773,"width":1200,"resizeWidth":294,"bytes":712537,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null}" alt="" width="294" class="" src="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_294,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0edc0caa-157c-410e-aaa6-46ad1e8e66e9_1200x1773.jpeg" style="display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: auto; border: none !important;"></a></td><td class="" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table></figure></div><p class="" style="color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><strong class="">At a time when many countries are closing inward, hunkering down in response to change and fear, this is a film about young, intrepid Americans doing the opposite.</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>They are charging out into the world, convinced that there must be ways to adapt to change and to learn from one another, rather than turning on each other.</p><p class="" style="color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">I hate to admit it, but no book can have the emotional impact of the footage that Tracy and her team captured in real time.
