(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...

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. The situation is not bad but we are told that it is bad---a) to...

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. But it's not expensive to go to a slightly better school, $500 a month. In addition, the process of choosing a school by...

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...

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...

The film is very good, gave me a lot of inspiration, give it five stars. It's just that after watching it, I don't feel like I want to be a superman at all, and I don't think I can change anything. Although I have a strong desire to become a teacher after reading it, it is very likely that it will...

There is such an elementary school math problem:

"If there are 4 biscuits now, I have eaten 2. How many biscuits do I eat out of the total?"

I believe that most elementary school students can answer in seconds, but an ordinary American elementary school student thought for a while before...

Since the director’s last work "The Inconvenient Truth" is very important and smooth, although there are many errors in the film, I still watched the legendary "Waiting for Superman" which is equally important and the theme of education. Seeing the delayed children, even people like me who don't...

In 1999, Guggenheim had a documentary about American public school teachers. At that time, he spent more than a year tracking and shooting, and he was hopeful about the public school teachers and their promises that public schools were as good as they were. Ten years later, he was about to send his...

1. Policy reasons: The United States does not have the Ministry of Education in the strict sense. Their Ministry of Education is only responsible for the division of education funds (but a large sum of money), and in principle it is only allocated to public schools. Public schools are maintained by...
