One
year ago, The Grassroots Education Movement premiered a new
documentary, written and directed by New York City public school
teachers and parents, created in response to Davis Guggenheim’s highly
misleading film. Waiting for "Superman" would have audiences
believe that free-market competition, standardized tests, destroying
teacher unions, and the proliferation of charter schools are just what
this country needs to create great public schools.
The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting For "Superman" highlights
the real-life experiences of public school parents, students and
educators to show how these so-called reforms are actually hurting
public education. The film discusses the kinds of real reform – inside
schools and in our society as a whole – that we urgently need to
genuinely transform education in this country.
