"Waiting for Superman" is A Great Documentary

"Waiting for Superman" is a great documentary about schools in the U.S. This documentary shows the true experiences of kids today in schools that do show that for some students it is hard to be an American student. The schooling system is very different from other countries. If a student is far behind from other students it might not be the students faults. Teachers have a part in the student's failure. A student might be very gifted but if a teacher is not excelling in their profession the whole class suffers. And this happens for every year that teacher teaches.

This film is great because of how beautifully it is made. Davis Guggenheim wrote and directed this incredibly moving film. He really went the extra mile that documentaries need to do to make it better than other documentaries. Guggenheim interviews not only the teachers but the students to show two different sides of the story and the classroom. It really shows that the U.S. school system is not the best unlike other things in this country. This U.S. is looked as very powerful and a great and thriving country. But when it comes to our education system it is not the best and it is not very good at all. This film is beautifully done. Check this out, you will learn a lot!
