Waiting for Superman

My head was spinning after watching "Waiting for Superman".  I had been very excited to see it but in the end it let me down.   I was hoping it was the answer, but that was silly of me and the movie certainly didn't provide any answer.  The movie focused on the charter schools and bad teachers.  Getting rid of bad teachers may help yes but charter schools certainly aren't the answer.  In my psychology class we were told documentaries take one side and go to the extreme with it and that is exactly what happened with this movie.  I do feel the movie helped to explain what charter schools are and glorify their positives but what about their negatives.   What about their ability to accept whomever they want, to turn children away for their race, or language ability, or even their capabilities.  I think some of the charter schools positives such as their graduating rate or amount of students entering college is worth looking at.  Is it possible to incorporate some of their methods to help our failing schools?  I don't know where to go from here.  The public school system is having a terrible time and this movie presented a nice looking out, but aren't outs short cuts, don't they have "strings attached"?  And if charter schools were really what they seem, wouldn't their be more?  Isn't that where the nation would have taken us?  

Who knows?
