As an American History teacher and lover of Ken Burns documentaries I am very much looking forward to this.

It's a real change of pace for Burns, a poignant look at a Vermont school where boys, ages 11 to 17, struggle to memorize the Gettysburg Address. The boys have learning differences, such as dyslexia and ADHD.
The 90-minute film has an easy, down-to-earth charm. The sound track offers bouncy music; the screen is repeatedly decorated with scrawled names to identify people; and the boys serve as narrators of Civil War history.

It's been pretty cool to see. It's a teachers dream 2 students to one teacher.

Sooo I'm not a teacher but I'm a big Ken Burns fan whos in a helping profession and I was kinda disappointed by this as I didn't pay enough attention to the previews and assumed it would be like his other documentaries.
However, it definently has value particularly in how kids learn in different ways. I'll have to watch again to fully grasp the concepts and meaning
