Waiting for Superman--My Thinking on American Education

(1) The film's theme and meaning

In the black ghetto of Washington, D.C., the Latino ghetto of Los Angeles, the ghetto of New York, and the rich neighborhood of Silicon Valley, those who know the importance of education to people and families, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, know that children who love learning and want a good education...

Critical thinking

This is a great movie, at least it makes me do want to say something.
 
Three possibilities about the American education system: 1. The situation is bad---a) we want to fix it but failed, b) we don't want to fix it but pretend we do; 2.

It seems that poor people (mostly people of color) have a hard time getting an undergraduate degree in the US. School district, school choice, lottery are such familiar words.

Describes a real crisis but offers false ideas and supposed solutions

Waiting for Superman depicts a tragic crisis in education, but the solution the film claims to have found is quite the opposite. Standardized tests are not the solution. Test scores cannot fully measure a person's ability, far from enough. If I am a company owner recruiting employees, the candidate's high score can tell me that he has good self-control, can manage his time well and can implement his own plans. But does a poor grade necessarily mean that the person has no self-control...

Superman, are you there?

This is a documentary about the state of education in the United States. There is a problem with the country's education system. Some people have stood up to change this situation. The complete change and major reform have touched the interests of many, many people.
        Will the "lifetime retention" treatment erode the enthusiasm of many teachers? Will it deprive them of the motivation to move forward? What if they don't really love their students?
        The United States, a...

Inspiring. No matter how complicated the problem is, there is a solution, it just requires the efforts of each of us. What affects the education we receive, and how does education affect our lives? The Minister of Education is so handsome, it would be nice to be as courageous as she...
