Why Are We "Waiting For Superman?"
The documentary "Waiting for Superman" by Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim is riveting and so true. But why are we waiting? Our education system has somehow veered off course over the last decade. Each year, we are losing more and more students when we are to believe that "No Child is Left Behind". But what happened? Although, fingers are being pointed at educators, WE as a whole need to take responsibility for this as well. A good education starts at home first with parents.Making the sacrifice to educate a new generation of leaders is imperative if we want to compete in this global arena.Has our society become so greedy for money that we are sacrificing the education of others to line our pockets? Even Superman needed Lois Lane to keep him relevant, just like educators need US to stand up and help them to teach our young people. If not, we'll be still waiting on Superman until he returns!

The rest of the world knows how important a good education is and we should too, just about every other country in the world takes education more seriously than the US does and it needs to stop point blank. Third world countries take education more seriously than we do and their broke. So what does that say about the richest country in the world and how corrupt we are I fully heartedly agree with everything this petition stands for and I hope this helps.
