Waiting For Superman

This movie is strange in the way it presents itself. It doesn't outright say "hey, Charter Schools are better", but it is certainly implied throughout the whole movie. Yes, it gives very good evidence as to why Charter Schools work, but they left out the reasons as to why they might not be for every kid out there.

It really is strange that those who are fighting for education are white, while those who struggle for education are not.

Firing a teacher should really not be that hard. Some teachers really just stop caring about their students as the years go by. I can think of at least two teachers from my personal experience that should have been fired - one for sexual harassment and one for poor teaching. But, because of tenure, those horrible educators will keep their jobs until they die. It's weird that it's like that though, because with any other job position in the world, on mess up and you're axed. It just strikes me odd that the one job that can actually make a difference is the one where the most unqualified people are.
