Waiting for "Superman" movie

LOVE LOVE LOVED this! Such a moving/thought provoking movie. I really liked the effort that was put forth in this movie and I thought it was done really well, but I didn't like how they put such an emphasis on charter schools and put them in a light that made public school systems look horrible because though public school systems arent the best, their are some that so work and do show good potential and have student's being successful in them. It's sad to think that there are schools that when children enter them they have this idea that they can't succeed and can't go to college just because they feel their educational system is going to disappoint them. The teachers in these schools need to be more confident and passionate about what they are doing to promote a better ideal of the school they're representing.
As far as the article goes, Shor's arguement is mainly about how this is a poor portrayal of the public school systems because it doesn't take into account the budget cuts and annual testing regimes that the charter schools don't have to worry about. It only shows the viewer what they want them to see to glamorize charter schools but not giving us the whole facts about why the public schools are failing and what feeds into that. I agree with what he says because these charter schools are very selective and take only children who are succeeding to begin with, they don't have to take any child that could be a "challenge" such as children with needs or children who speak other languages. The charter schools create their own success in results because they only allow students who can succeed more easily into their schools and if they fall behind, they can kick them out because they don't want their test scores to fall. Public schools on the other hand are required to accept all students no matter what kind of educational support they need. I liked this movie a lot and I thought it was well done for the purpose that they wanted but I felt that it left out a lot of main points and ideas to make public schools look way worse than they are.
