Review of Waiting for "Superman" (2010) by Cory W — 21 Mar 2011

This was an acceptable documentary. At a certain point, the documentary takes a nasty turn against teachers. The problem with education is not the teachers, nor the unions that support them; these are endemic and every other industrialized country on earth has teachers' unions to content with.

I think that more needs to be explored on the the plotted progression of public schools and our country's commitment to improving the system rather than pinning hopes on inherently problematic insituations such as Charter Schools, which will never be a long-term and sustained fix for public education.
