It can be agreed by many people in our country, the United States’ education system is failing. All across the country students are dropping out of school or failing to produce satisfactory testing scores. Waiting for Superman is a documentary that looks at the school systems in urban and suburban areas and breaks down the problem while looking for possible solutions.

            The documentary also looks at different families who are getting ready to enter their children into a lottery for charter school in the coming year. This lottery will in a way determine the future of each child’s education. For many, this is their only chance.

            Meet the people who help run the education system and those who aim to change it with their new thinking. Waiting for Superman is not only an inspirational story for educators and forward thinking people, but it is also a call for people to come to the rescue of tomorrow’s generation.
