11/19/2012 Raises some good issues. But conflates standardized testing and charter school issues. No alternatives identified. Poor acting and production quality. See more 05/30/2012 Excellent response to the lies in Waiting for Superman. Glad they focused on parents and community member who support public schools, public school teachers, and unions.

Although it focuses on NY, the same thing is going on across the nation: corporate take-over of the education system by those who are primarily interested in profit -- not education. There are surely some idealists who think they are doing good with such reforms, but they have never been a teacher and don't understand that schools are not a business and cannot be run that way. Struggling schools should be helped -- not "fired." This is their message, and it's about time someone said it. See more Read all reviews
