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"

Wrongriki , you are all that is wrong with things like these forums with your constant barrage of right -wing propaganda and bullsh^t ! Then complaining that your being picked on when all you post is debunked and refuted ! Since you insist on being the victim you should look that up on your right-wing websites !!When you persist in this mis-guided strategy of victimhood you should at least see if you qualify for a mental disability !

"we are ohio ".c om Lets end this republican war on working americans ! The whole of your arguement is that people dont have a choice RIGHT ?Well seems to me that if a person either chooses to work at A: a union shop or B: a non-union shop they are making a conscience choice ! SO EXACTLY HOW IS MAKING A CHOICE NOT A CHOICE !!! And if this fact is correct ( and it is ) then doesnt that make your whole right-wing bullshi& a lie ?? WHY YES IT DOES !! "we are ohio ".c om

"we are ohio".co m More idiotic crowing from the poster child of ignorance !.Forbes’ Rick Ungar'Right-to-Work' Laws Explained, Debunked And Demystified One of the enduring myths of legislation designed to bring ‘right-to-work’ laws to the states is the notion that these laws actually have something to do with the right to work.

They decidedly do not. "we are ohio". c om

“Why don’t you have a website like this for MSNBC? Oh, wait, silly me.”
