Rating: 6.8/10 (22 votes cast)

Waiting for Superman: Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education “statistics” have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying “drop-out factories” and “academic sinkholes,” methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.

This Version Of The Movie Was The Only Good Quality One We Could Find, Please Ignore Any Popups etc. These Have Nothing To do With Us!

            Everytime someone posts a video that requires divx player, an internet fairy dies.

        I spent 5 minutes installing DivX twice (because just installing the DivX player isn’t enough, you have to install their web player beta and opt out of Norton Bloatware Virus) to find out that, no, you didn’t replace it. Still way off audio. Worthless vid and thanks for wasting my time, DivX.

    This was a really good documentary about how broken our public school system is and how the teachers’ unions are keeping their broken system of tenure-for-everyone in place.

    No thanks to this broken upload here, of course. Get the 720p version of piratebay.

    For those who can’t view this, don’t worry. It’s a waste of time nonsense propaganda.

      I know. I’m required to watch it for a social work class. I’m changing my masters program next month. Social work is for oppressors, atheists, and supporters of a big controlling government.

        Yep, living in the real world can do that to you. Go live in fairy land with your God and leave all the poor and dying behind.

      Listen, if it’s such nonsense and propaganda, I see no reason why you feel the need to watch it.

    This is a propaganda piece. Can’t count the products I saw placed here. Nike was the first. The rest of this piece of shit was a waste of time. Why the fuck didn’t this asshole talk about what the real problem is. How about you get your asses to the meetings and demand that you have control. I will put everything I own on the line and say that I bet not 1 in 59 parents even know who the fuck runs their local school board or even who put them there. You want good schools? Get the unions out and get your fucking lazy asses to EVERY meeting. If you don’t then don’t fucking whine about how your kid is an idiot. Chances are if you are under 35 you are a product of the same dumbed down shit. I blame all of you who thought that it was everyone else’s responsibility to make sure your kid gets an education. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. WHEN YOU LOSERS GET TOGETHER AND DO THIS THEN YOUR KIDS WONT HAVE TO BE AS STUPID AS YOU!!!! OF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT IM SAYING, ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY DONE TO DO ANYTHING IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY. Of you haven’t, shame on you. NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND MEANT LOWER THE STANDARDS SO.THE DUMB KIDS CAN PASS WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE ANYTHING. The federal government is NOT supposed to be involved in the public school system. But I’m sure you probably didn’t know that either. Is your kid on ritalin? How about some other form of pill? That didn’t happen till the early 70 s. All OS a sudden kids were supposed to act like adults? Every kid now is add? Bullshit. They never were. But the pharmacy industry thanks you for your lazy parenting and your compliance. Spend your time on your fantasy football.league and watch the boob tube while these ass heads they call doctors (psychologists) drug your kids into stupidity. Apparently none of you learned anything in biology. No problem. Be a good consumer and raise a brood of idiots. I’m sure the rest of the world has no problem doing the jobs we used to know how to. When they passed nafta, none of you were smart enough to realise that they had already convinced you that these were jobs we didn’t want to do. So now your kid will leave college with a useless degree and 70000 in debt with skills that aren’t up to par with the kid that learned engineering in a school in the dustbowl of India. Congratulations America. You fucked your kids over with your ego.
