Education is paramount to all kids and for that matter good education and every child should be offered education and a good environment to study. Therefore when kids are learning in dilapidated facilities in public schools, it leaves a lot to be desired and the documentary on school namely Waiting for Superman, depicts the conditions in which kids in public school learn in.
This film is based on five American kids of elementary to middle school of age. Anthony lives in Washington DC, Daisy in Los Angeles, Francisco in Bronx, Emily in Silicon Valley and Bianca in Harlem. All of these five children are very sharp minded and they all have dreams and hope to become great people in the society.
The common thing with all these kids is that they all attend public schools. These have the worst graduation rates around the United States of America and they are even referred to as drop out factories. Therefore their parents seek to seek an alternative, however, the application process for this takes a very long time.
Something shocking and even saddening is that it takes twice as much money to keep an inmate alive in a year than it would take to take a kid to a public learning center. Prisons have given a higher priority than the education of these innocent kids.
The USA is ranked close to the last developed nations with a poor performance in reading, science and mathematics. The category that they perform well is one that does not even benefit them as they think that their performance is good if not great.
Davis Guggenheim depicts the solutions that can help save the education system of the American kids who are not privileged enough to attend private institutions. This is a must watch documentary on school for anyone who believes that the public education system needs reforms and who would wish to be a part of this change.
