Could a 1,500-year-old Catholic tradition be the answer to Newark's education problems?

The Brick City has the seventh-highest murder rate in the country; more than a third of its residents fall below the poverty line; the unemployment rate sits at a stubbornly high 14 percent. In the face of those odds, how do students muster up any interest in learning? How do schools adequately prepare kids to not only graduate, but to thrive? A new documentary called "The Rule," attempts to answer those questions and more by chronicling the achievements of St. Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark.
