Waiting for Superman

The film follows five young children and their families as they try to get into schools that have a proven success record. And for the most part that means private or non-public schools. It’s a sad truth when a child’s success is tied to either wealth or blind luck. I was really touched by this film. I had no idea that children go through that. It was heartbreaking seeing the children who really want a great education not get there name called in the lotary of their education. Watching the film gave me perspective on life outside my Minnesota box, and these kids all need a good education and no matter where I land I will do my best to give them that. It is sad to even see the difference between the teachers and supplies at these schools only certain kids can go to. Overall it was a very touching movie.
