Waiting for Superman (US 2010)

Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education "statistics" have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying "drop-out factories" and "academic sinkholes," methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.

A documentary by Davis Guggenheim, 2010.

From ebook, 'God Stopping A Nuclear War', 99 cents

Black students often fail because their left brains are not activated enough to work successfully as a gorup. With over active right brains which find it hard to sit and read in school.

Can this problem be overcome? Yes. Is it addressed? No.

The lack of left brain activity affects black crime rates.

More money, more feel good crap, more blaming, hasn't done shit for us.

They ran this man out of education. Why?

We're cheap labor!.
