but I do have a TV-series I grow more fond of every time a new episode airs. School van Prem ("Prem's School") is a 10-part episodic documentary in which the uncompromising Prem tries to get ten kids to finish their CITO-test (a nation-wide test for all 8th graders which pretty much determines the future of a child) with the best of results. All of these children are victims of the failing eduction system of my country, many of them have several months of estimated backlog. Worst thing of all is that the schools never even told the parents how their children are doing. In only a few weeks of time, Prem tries to fix what several years of education broke.

It's a great series, which even gives me some insight on my childhood. Some of the stories these children tell evoke emotions in me of which I thought I had lost. I rate it 8/10.

I'm actually convinced they can do better than what the students' schools advised. They all get help from NIBOS, which is an organization that specializes in helping children with backlog. According to their statistics, they can get a recommendation three degrees above what the school says they should do.

The Educational system is a bitch to fix because of all the different groups of people wanting to fix different parts of it. It's going to need a major overhaul to get everybody happy.

Very true. I'm glad people at least indicate there is a need for a dramatic change in how things are organized.
