Yeah, as a parent it was kinda harrowing. But totally worth it. I think it'd make uncomfortable but necessary viewing material for anyone. as you say, we should be worried about these issue as a society as a whole, not only on a personal level.

I work in a school which serves severely underprivileged students, so it's not like I don't know how bad things can be even here, but maybe because my students are older it is less shocking in a way. What I found hard to watch (and would like an opinion on by people who experience the English school system firsthand) is the way most teachers seemed disaffected or disillusioned and powerless in the show. I definitely feel very powerless in my school too, mind you. Of you happen to read articles or essays or newsletters that touch on the problems of the school system I'd be really happy if you could post me towards them, btw.
