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"

“I discovered that there is no free rider problem unless a union explicitly chooses to create free riders.”

“In other words, unions can completely eliminate the free rider problem by choosing to negotiate contracts only for union members.”

This quote by ‘thegreek’ can also apply to Munster . . . “the only way you think you can win a debate is to degrade the other person.”

Wrongriki being the fool that it is cant seem to understand English ! Most unions are in this fight and the host state or country of these unions will be donating money towards defeating these unfair actions by the republicans ! Unlike the republican super PAC's where no one knows where the money comes from , the unions are funded by people just like you and I !

“They refer to those workers as "free riders." This argument is a distortion to shift attention from the benefits of worker freedom.”

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

Republican super PAC's are spending millions of super PAC money to keep the their reign of terror on labor active They are afraid that their war on workers is coming to an end and the people will regain their right to be union and more will see the truth and organize ! And the majority of their money is from out of state ! * * *
