[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go rent 'waiting for superman' and tell me if you think the American model is winning. A good education, therefore, is not ruled out by poverty, uneducated parents or crime - and drug-infested neighborhoods. In fact, those are the very areas where Geoffrey Canada has success with his charter schools. I love how two of the pps want to just remove our inner city and poor kids from our Education statistics. Sure. We'll just continue to ignore that population instead of reforming the education system itself. I also wouldn't be so certain US would rise to the top by self-selecting a tiny population.[/quote] I'm just curious if you applied any critical thinking to your evaluation of "Waiting for Superman." Do you know who produced it and what their (financial) motive is? It's basically propaganda for the charter school movement and a knee-jerk attack on teachers' unions. It's basically right-wing propaganda to privatize public schools. Bullshit.[/quote] This. And I hate the teachers union. I love the Teach for America Teachers though. Suck it. Bring more young people who care-- what's the downside? All the one's we've had have been phenomenal.[/quote]
