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"

Question: Why does Munster have to defend Labor Unions ruled by NEA/OEA "Union Fat Cats", who receive outrageous salaries and benefits, while living a life of luxury, lording their unrestrained power over the union-enslaved workers with name-calling, insults, wild claims, and LIES?

? A teacher of 28+ years ?

Speaking of legitimacy , wrongriki is a welfare addicted non working putz that thinks its an expert on workers rights ! Would'nt you think that to be an expert on work you'd have to at least have a job ?? Still using lies and half-truths in the typical republican way ! Seems funny that if this was a good thing for labor they would be supporting it but they aren't are they ??We are ohio. co m

Just what did we ever do to "earn" this constant assault of right-wing lies and deceit by mindless parrots like wrongriki ? And how is it that the republicans have totally blanketed the internet with thousands of 501 and 503 "tax exempt" organizations ? All funded by right-wing super PAC money ! citizen united my as$ ! All in an effort to control our lives ! Unfortunatly the weak-minded are susceptible to that tactic ! SCARY !

“As the union movement’s share of the membership pie continues to shrink, as they have in the past, union bosses–like those at the Teamsters–will become more inclined to try to steal members from other unions.”
