Waiting For Superman



I loved this movie, for many reasons. It clearly put faces to the issues of school choice and competition. There were parts I disagreed with, and parts that I found myself grabbing my wife's arm in response. I fundamentally believe that competition has improved education across the country and the St. Vrain Valley School District in particular. Was there some exaggeration? Yes. Was it warranted? YES!!

I think the education debate in the our current political environment is interesting. We all went to school, thus we all have an opinion about school.

If you are in the mood for a documentary, you'll enjoy this one.
