Waiting for Superman

With the decline in education ratings, "Waiting for Superman" comes along to save the day. This movie is a must see for every educator, parent, and student. This movie raises awareness of the danger of our education system.

As a future educator, I believe that the future of our education system lies in the hands of me, and my future colleagues. In order to solve a problem, you must first know what the problem is, and "Waiting for Superman" makes the problem clear. America is known as one of the most advanced countries in the world, but yet we rank number twenty- five when it comes to math education and number twenty four in Science. This is a problem because we have so many different resources, but we still rank below countries who have little or no resources.

With different technological advances, our country does not focus on the important things like education; instead we focus on things such as capabilities of a new cell phone.

  1. How does the documentary make this clear? Are there any reviews of the film out there that could flesh out your observations?
