Waiting For Superman

I found this documentary very interesting. The film exposes the flaws and wrongs in the public school system, and there is more than a few. The film is biased against a couple of main things; unions, tenure and tracking. Unions in the schools is what allows for teachers to have tenure and in many cases this is not a good thing. When an ineffective teacher have tenure it is extremely hard to get them out of the school system. The other thing that really stood out was tracking in middle schools. The more and more we use tracking we realize that is is ineffective and not creating the results that were hoped for. Students should all be held to the same expectations no matter what level of learning they are at. I really liked the film and it touched me how many of the students wanted a better education for themselves. I only hope that students across the country share this passion for learning and want to succeed.
