I shall rate this highly as it deserves it. As far as being realistic, this remains to be seen.
We see the supposed conventional special education class with its myriad of problems. Of course, we have the heavy set girl, an African-American named Jamal, fighting, temper tantrums, dyslexia, you name it. What we do have here that we don't find in the vast majority of special education classes-the intrinsic motivation to learn and the required knowledge and ability are all there as well.
We have the teacher who never gives up on his pupils along with a wonderful co-teacher. We have the principal who feels that these students are not qualified to go to space camp.
Against the odds, the students do go and show everyone up in the process. There is the temper tantrums displayed but in the end our students win all the awards at space graduation.
What a wonderful world. The picture is beautifully done. The characters are most sympathetic, but visit an urban school setting and reality takes hold.
Interesting scientific information was displayed. Kudos to all!
