Most likely to succeed

With the advance of technology more and more jobs are taken over by machines, leaving an increasing amount of people out of work. Despite this, American high schools remain faithful to an outdated school system that trains kids to prepare for a job market that hardly exists anymore. Annoyed by this, documentary maker Greg Whitely decided to search for a school that has an approach that fits the current information age more. He finds High Tech High, a school that teaches students innovation, creativity, collaboration and finding their own voice, instead of tests and memorizing information. Is this the way education has to go?
