Waiting For Superman

In the video Waiting For Superman, it looks at how we need an answer to fixing the education system in the United States. And how we need to wait for an answer and looks at many different kids on their journey to a better education in this country. Most of the kids were looking at going to better schools in the neighboring districts and how they would have to get put into a lottery system to see if they would be allowed in. It was touching to see these kids that were only in like 3 or 4th grade care so much about their education. In my past kids and myself would take for granted the fact that they were able to receive a decent education. It was very different in these parts of the country. It was sad to see when they didn't get in how much they were hurt and understood that this would affect their future. Its not fair to have these kids suffer in inner city schools and see them get passed by. Something needed to be done. Then the chancellor of education in Washington D.C. came along and tried to pass something new but she was shot down by the unions. How sad when someone stood up and tried to fix it nothing got done, and everyone just went along with what was going on. This movie really made you think about how not every child in this country is receiving the education that he or she is entitled to.
