Review of Waiting for "Superman" (2010) by Charles S — 11 Jul 2011
Puts a lot of blame on inner city teachers unions, and while it has a few points, some points that are wrong in my personal experience...
The movie says you can just be breathing and get tenure, and having failed to get tenure TWICE, I know that's crap.
The movie says teachers take years to fire, and I know teachers personally who have been.
There are some mediocre teachers I know, and frequently I count myself among them, and as to bad teachers, well decorum dictates that I leave that to speculation, I'm just glad I'm not one of them...
The lesson it TRIES to prove is that its not about a few individuals motivating their school/district, but in my experience its all about relationships and personality...... The kids stories and a couple of the deleted scenes were impressive though.
