It was a super interesting movie, especially as a daughter of a public school teacher I could see how teachers are trapped by inane rules but they need to be fixed or the students are the ones that will suffer. I love the city I live in (Albany, NY), but the public schools are HORRIBLE - you save money on taxes but have to pay to send your kids to a good school. Not a good trade-off.Kerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238466126084809399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972051150902313067.post-23386228899926147692011-05-17T18:40:14.129-07:002011-05-17T18:40:14.129-07:00I REALLY need to watch Waiting for Superman!

My state's educational system is really crumbling right now. I could go on and on- I'm very politically minded as well! I also run elections and have no choice but to be involved in politics thanks to my career. I love "serious" posts like these, keep 'em up! : )Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909460816963808719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972051150902313067.post-60800799267540841132011-05-16T08:49:15.201-07:002011-05-16T08:49:15.201-07:00I loved Waiting for Superman - My parents were big...I loved Waiting for Superman - My parents were big supporters of public school, even if it sucked ha. But I can't help but think that I'd love my future kids to be a bit more challenged or set up for the future in one of those magnet or chartered schools. But obviously I still have TONS of research (and time) before any final opinions get made.<br /><br />My husband and I watched this together and it definitely got some conversations going. I love that about documentaries!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543748212578351939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972051150902313067.post-31084230858394216062011-05-16T08:22:08.887-07:002011-05-16T08:22:08.887-07:00I'm totally with you on the Economist.
