I think my favorite part of class today was hearing about grammar hotlines in the U.S. What are these? Who uses them (besides the White House, as cited in the documentary)? Who monitors them and give the answers? I would love to know more about this resource.
I was also incredibly impressed with the "Academic English Mastery Program" implemented in California. I could not believe that the grade 5 students were using such advanced metalinguitic language to describe their classroom activities.
I look forward to viewing the rest of the documentary at some point.

I was not aware of the hotline either and would like to know more about it too. I also wonder who calls the hotline and how they get the number. Do students use the hotline more or do other people who may just be curious or who may need to find the answer to their questions for business reasons?
