The documentary‚ Waiting for Superman‚ is a look at the problems with America’s public school system. After watching to film I was shocked and frustrated. It is difficult for me to imagine that people who have chosen to become teachers would ever refuse to reform a system that is not functioning in the best interest of the children for whom the system was developed to serve.
