A new documentary film, "Looking for Superman" suggests that American education is severly flawed. Is this view justified?

As a former history teacher, I believe that the majority of today's public issues are rooted in the quality - or lack thereof - of American education. Never in my own memory have I noticed so many students (and adults) who are so uninformed about even the most basic facts of history, civics, geography ... Recent studies suggest that U.S. schools rank well below other nations in the disciplines of math and science ... "Waiting for Superman" (which needs to be shown locally) says that the "blame" or "responsibility" for this sad state of affairs rests upon several factors - i.e. the distractions of TV and computer games; teachers' unions that support "tenure" for some incompetent teachers; uncaring parents; "pressure groups" that demonize public education to promote private, sectarian schools; politicians who burden schools with "unfunded mandates" like "No Child Left Behind" ... Or is it "all of the above"

"right to work is wrong".c om Still having problems with that pesky thinking for yourself thing eh ??Choice means living with the responsibility of your choice ! Whenever a person makes the CHOICE to either work at A: a union shop or B: a non-union shop they ARE MAKING A CHOICE !! So explain to everyone how making a choice is not making a choice ! And as usual when wrongriki cant think for itself it just copies others posts ! Typical weak minded republican parrot !"right to work is wrong".c om Read more closely bu ttwipe !

right to work is wrong".co m Well for a welfare addicted republican parrot , regular people would think that you would be grateful for the rights and dignity afforded all workers by the efforts of unions and their members ! But your constanrt denial of FACTS comes as NO SURPRISE since you have never had a job much less a union job ! Most would think that you, being supported by the taxes of hard working people would at least acknowledge that unions have benefited all labor ! To be so unthankful is truely a republican trait !"right to work is wrong".co m

Munster has no real job and he is relying on a government teacher to keep him.

Munster wishes he had the time to just sit around like a disability retired dues exempt USW union member. He already does! Does a teacher have to work while he trolls the forums?
