Wow, the education system obviously isn't working, and I'm sorry, but unions don't seem to be helping. Waiting for Superman exposes all sorts of issues with why American students don't know as much as they should, as well as follows the plight of several students who want to be placed in good schools but have the odds against them.

The documentary interviews a lot of kids and people who work in the school system, and focuses more on the problems than on solutions, but perhaps that's because the problems seem to be what are blocking the solutions in the first place. It looks pretty bleak, and the documentary doesn't necessarily make one feel like he or she can leave the theater and do something about the situation. I'm not sure what to do with the info I've learned. All I know is that I still hate unions.
