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"

And of course wrongriki again seeks to mis-lead and lie ! Most unions are INTERNATIONAL ! So any donation goes to the pot of the union and donations will come from all over ! Another idiotic attaempt to skew facts to try and malign unions and their membership !The only sites wrongriki will quote are of the right-wing nutjob variety !

Munster finally concedes . . . “yes the check will probably come from out of state !”

. . .

“Through 2012, a total of 95.65 percent of We Are Ohio’s cash and in-kind funding came from labor unions, with 47.64 percent contributed by OUT-OF-STATE unions.”

Labor Campaign Committee “We Are Ohio” Remains 95% Union-Funded

Speaking of legitimacy , wrongriki is a welfare addicted non working putz that thinks its an expert on workers rights ! Would'nt you think that to be an expert on work you'd have to at least have a job ?? Still using lies and half-truths in the typical republican way ! Seems funny that if this was a good thing for labor they would be supporting it but they aren't are they ??We are ohio. co m

What the ever ignorant wrongriki wont say is yes unions will donate and being international unions yes the check will probably come from out of state ! Another thing wrongriki doesn't want you to know is who is funding all of it's right-wing blather !The funding for wrongriki's rtw thingy is republican super PAC's and we have no idea who's giving them money because they don't have to report that ! Now why would they want to not have you know who's putting out the bucks ??!

"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 truly a republican trait !"we are ohio ".co m

No one can voice an opinion here in this forum differing from Munster’s NEA union boss/wife propaganda without his hostile and vindictive personal attacks of name-calling, insults, and wild claims about others.

"we are ohio".co m Deny , deflect, mis-lead and lie ! The republican mantra ! You see whenever wrongriki cant come up with a valid arguement this is what we all have to endure ! Doesnt change the facts though , whenever a person goes to work they make a CHOICE either to work at a union shop or they CHOOSE to work at a non-union shop ! Either way they CHOOSE ! And since these rabid republicans say its all about CHOICE then they must be and are LYING ! "we are ohio".co m

To be so anti -freedom and anti-living wage is just nutty !For the life of me I cant fathom how the righties here can harbor such hate against a organization that has benefited almost all working americans ! Through the efforts of unions there are things like child labor laws, 40 hr work week, insurance, sick pay, increased safety,vacations , and the list goes on and on ! Why cant these weak-minded brain-washed "people" understand that without union struggles we would all still be working 80hr weeks ,6 days a week for nearly nothing ! Thats not democracy thats slavery !

So we are starting with the ole "compulsory lie" eh ? Theres nothing to that ! Remember "CHOICES" and" majority rules" ?? A worker CHOOSES to work at either a union shop or CHOOSES to work non union ! Either way they CHOOSE !!So as long as a worker CHOOSES there is nothing "compulsory" to it !
