Waiting for Superman directed by Davis Guggenheim; written by Mr. Guggenheim and Billy Kimball is a powerful and eye-opening documentary that talks about America's failing school system. Mr. Davis Guggenheim explores the tragic ways in which the American public education system is failing our nation's children, and explores the roles in which charter schools and education reformers could play in offering hope for the future. This documentary emphasizes on the different things that are being encountered day to day like students dropping out, science and math scores falling, and schools closing due to lack of funding. The saddest part of the movie that I had to endure was the fact that five of the students Bianca, Emily, Anthony, Daisy, and Francisco future depended on winning a lottery ticket to a charter school. This just really shows that the state in which education is in now; there is a necessity for change and we have to come together as a community and find possible options for improvement.
I agree with you, there needs to be a change in education of today. Before the movie, I had no idea that such a need was needed.
