One of our class members, Julia, has kindly brought it to my attention that the campus group EMPOWER is showing the film "Corridor of Shame" on campus tomorrow (Thursday) night. This is an amazing documentary that walks you through the halls of some of the crumbling educational infrastructure of our state. If you have ever asked yourself "how did someone make it through high school without using a computer?" or "why are high school dropout rates so high?" - you must see this film.
The EMPOWER group is showing the film from 7pm to 8pm in the Honors Residence B110 (click here for a campus map) in a session called "Diversity Dialog."
Do I need to offer extra credit to convince you to go? Ok, fine - I will. If you go see the film and write up a 200 word reaction paper to the film (Q: How did watching the movie change your perspective on education in SC?) then you will receive 25 points of extra credit. (HEY! That's a much as a whole quiz!)
If anyone else knows about events like this, let me know ahead of time so I can offer them to the class.
