There are differing views about how sound the science behind a couple of aspects of the film actually is. But surely you cannot argue with the core message of the film. And surely you can find 90 minutes somewhere in the school year for this!

Once again, all that I can do is speak from my experience as a parent of two school aged kids right now, with a sister who is a public school teacher. My observation may not be true in other states or towns, but in the case of my town and my sister's town (both of which ranked above the state average in MCAS scores), you'd be hard pressed to find 90 minutes of free time for stuff like this.
Maybe your experience is different, in which case I'd appreciate hearing the specifics.
