Question

what is the common goal between the corporate reformers in Waiting for 'Superman' (Guggenheim, 2010) and the educational reformers in The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman (Grassroots Education Productions, 2012)?

Answer 1

Ans. Waiting for "Superman" is a 2010 American documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim. The film criticizes the American public education system by following several students as they strive to be accepted into competitive charter schools such as KIPP LA Schools, Harlem Success Academy and Summit Preparatory Charter High School.

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. The film talks about the kinds of real reform–inside schools and in society as a whole–that we urgently need to genuinely transform. A teacher-backed group called the Grassroots Education Movement produced a rebuttal documentary titled The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman, which was released in 2011. It criticizes some public figures featured in Waiting for "Superman" , proposes different policies to improve education in the United States and counters the position taken by Guggenheim.

Common goal:

Policies to improve education in the United States and improve American public education system.
