A new documentary film, "Looking for Superman" suggests that American education is severly flawed. Is this view justified?

As a former history teacher, I believe that the majority of today's public issues are rooted in the quality - or lack thereof - of American education. Never in my own memory have I noticed so many students (and adults) who are so uninformed about even the most basic facts of history, civics, geography ... Recent studies suggest that U.S. schools rank well below other nations in the disciplines of math and science ... "Waiting for Superman" (which needs to be shown locally) says that the "blame" or "responsibility" for this sad state of affairs rests upon several factors - i.e. the distractions of TV and computer games; teachers' unions that support "tenure" for some incompetent teachers; uncaring parents; "pressure groups" that demonize public education to promote private, sectarian schools; politicians who burden schools with "unfunded mandates" like "No Child Left Behind" ... Or is it "all of the above"

Here is your answer !!The whole of your arguement is that people dont have a choice RIGHT ?Well seems to me that if a person either chooses to work at A: a union shop or B: a non-union shop they are making a conscience choice ! SO EXACTLY HOW IS MAKING A CHOICE NOT A CHOICE !!! And if this fact is correct ( and it is ) then wouldnt that make your whole right-wing bullsh#t fest a lie ??•The average worker—unionized or not—working in a right-to-work state earns approximately $1,500 less per year than a similar worker in a state without such a law.Right to Work For Less By ThinkProgress War Room on Dec 10, 2012 at 5:26 pm "right to work is wrong". c om

Question: What is the possibility of a local teacher of 28+ years becoming a NEA union official and would such a person be for or against the Freedom to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment?

"right to work is wrong". c om Lets end this republican war on working people “Right-to-work” laws are outdated and a throw-back to the anti-union agenda of another era. “Right-to-work” state laws are redundant and unneeded when the current federal law is actually examined. “Right-to-work” laws represent destructive economic development policy guided by extreme partisan politics. The goal should be to raise the standard of living for hard-working Hoosier families, not lower it. Hard-working Hoosier families deserve better than an antiquated law designed to raise corporate profits and lower worker wages and benefits. "right to work is wrong". c om

"right to work is wrong".c om Still having problems with that pesky thinking for yourself thing eh! And contrary to what the ever ignorant wrongriki says , unlike it ,I've had a union job and worked ! I know what its about and since wrongriki has never had a REAL JOB much less a union job now who do we believe ? ?? "right to work is wrong".c om

You have to remember that Munster as a retired ‘freeloading’ USW member who has no idea how real unions should operate. He and others of that ilk can only conjure up ‘history’ but what can this teach us about today’s greedy union fat cats in today’s unions? He only knows what their lying union propaganda wants them to know and say.

"right to work is wrong".co m Well for a welfare addicted republican parrot , regular people would think that you would be grateful for the rights and dignity afforded all workers by the efforts of unions and their members ! But your constanrt denial of FACTS comes as NO SURPRISE since you have never had a job much less a union job ! Most would think that you, being supported by the taxes of hard working people would at least acknowledge that unions have benefited all labor ! To be so unthankful is truely a republican trait !"right to work is wrong".co m
