I thought it was good with important messaging and an intriguing plot; however, it was a little longer than it needed to be and I think the same effect could've been achieved with fewer moving parts in the plotline. Some of the resolution was a little predictable, too, but I thought the overall story was important and pointed out some very important issues in academia and private schools.
