Waiting for Superman

A recent editorial Mike Hashimoto/ Editor in the Dallas Morning News caught my attention about the recent released documentary "Waiting for Superman".   His examination of the Davis Guggenheim film, "Waiting for Superman" was logical, concise, and well balanced.

This is a documentary about what is wrong with the American public education system, once the best in the world, and who is to blame for a system that   routinely forsakes the education of millions of children. The film gives names and faces to the statistics of some of those children that are hurt by failing education system.

I enjoyed reading this editorial.  Mike Hashimoto examines the major points of the film in well written, clear, and easily understood manner.  In his editorial, Mike Hashimoto presents a number of viewpoints from various sources with links to read this different views.  There are also numerous links presented, in the editorial, on where to get facts about the state of the American education system.  To get the story straight from the source, this is the link "Waiting for Superman" website.   


This film concerns how my children might be educated.  I have not seen the movie yet, but I plan to see it as soon as I can.  As the father of two children, their education is something that is always on my mind.
