"The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman" is finally available.
Get a copy of the film and hold a Movie Party!
GEM - (The Grassroots Education Movement) wrote and directed this documentary in response to the Davis Guggenheim highly misleading film, Waiting for Superman. Waiting for Superman would have audiences believe that free-market competition, standardized tests, destroying teacher unions, and above all, the proliferation of charter schools are just what this country needs to create great public schools.
Our film, the Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting For Superman highlights the real-life experiences of public school parents and educators to show how these so-called reforms are actually hurting education. Our film talks about 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.

Thanks, Robert. I have my copy on order.
ReplyDeleteNot really sure why I need to talk to Ravitch. I'd much rather get a few seconds with Duncan, Rhee or Gates.
