Their cameras continued to follow both families for another 12 years as the paths of the two boys diverged—one continued private school while the other pursued a very different route through the public education system.

En una escuela gris monótono, anónima regida por un estricto régimen autoritario, un día aparentemente sin complicaciones se convirtió en la cabeza después de un anuncio aparentemente ridículo. Incrédulo al principio, todos los alumnos de sexo masculino, de forma idéntica uniformados se les informa que lo que siempre se les había enseñado como un hecho ya no es así. Cuando los estudiantes incrédulos hablan, lo que inicialmente parece ridículamente absurdo se convierte en desesperación real a medida que se ven obligados a preguntarse hasta dónde van a ir a defender sus creencias. Dos y Dos es una alegoría de lo absurdo de la dictadura y la tiranía y la resistencia del espíritu humano.

The American education system is failing. It's time to do something. "Flunked", narrated by Joe Mantegna, is a full-length documentary designed to be both informative and entertaining, without compromising the truth of the crisis we are facing in education today. Most people are well aware of the declining test scores and competitiveness of the average American student, as well as myriad other problems facing education today. However, complaining about the problem, while easy to do, produces little productive results. Instead, "Flunked" focuses on many of today's schools nationwide that are "getting it right" — attaining great results in terms of college preparation, high test scores, and graduating competent workers for tomorrow's economy.
