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 still unable to fathom that its line of reasoning is a lie ! And no matter how many times wrongriki is debunked its sad to see that its either too stupid to understand it or it just cant accept the facts ! Working folk make their own personal CHOICE when they CHOOSE to either work at a union shop or CHOOSE to work at a non union shop ! THEY MAKE THEIR CHOICE !! " right to work for less " .co m

Surprise, surprise, whenever you see “Munster” that means he is in part funded by a teacher of 28+ years. Now let us see how many times “Munster” cut and pastes his non-stop name-calling and insults.

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
