“Waiting for Superman” An Analysis of Thinking Critically
Executive Summary The public school system in America has failed many people in our society. The money given to support education is at an all-time high. Many bad teachers are protected by powerful unions and these bad teachers could care less about low test scores. Students could accomplish anything, but instead bad teachers are causing many students to drop out. Lower test scores could be replaced with high test scores if bad teachers were fired. There is some hope for many Black and Latino students if they could find a way out of the public school system to charter schools that could help them graduate and prepare for college success.
Introduction One would think that the American Education system supplies the youth with the best educational opportunities to secede, but the government implement structured plan that should ensure everyone getting equal opportunity at a good education today has changed from the past. Today more students are dropping out of school more than ever before causing the United States to fall more behind in education compared to all other countries. In this paper I will talk about the benefits of equal education to both the rich and poor. I will also explore the movie “Waiting for Superman” by Davis Guggerheim and the text book “Thinking Critically” by Peter Facione’s concepts that could help tie together a resolution to the problems in the United States falling school system. I will also explore why all of the powerful leaders that could have help in the past have recently brought this subject to light.
Observations and Findings American education should supply youth with the best educational opportunities, however we are shown in the movie “Waiting for Superman” this is not entirely the case. If the viewer accepts the power differential heuristic message that this movie is convening than the viewer might fall short of
