Waiting for Superman

This film just won the award for Best Documentary Feature at the Critics' Choice Awards. It comes out on DVD/iTunes/Netflix on February 15th - and although I haven't seen it yet, I plan to! It discusses the issues facing education in the United States, with a focus on inner city schools. Being in education - along with many members of my family, as well as many of my friends - I thought it would interest some blog readers!

You can click HERE to see the trailer for the movie. I caught one trailer that ended with an education reformist saying, "If you're a lousy teacher, and I know you're a lousy teacher - and I can't get rid of you...then that's a disgrace." Amen, sir.
