Waiting for Superman and the Education Debate

Brent Staples:

Mr. Barr believes that the film has pulled back the curtain on a world that most Americans would otherwise not have seen -- the desperation of parents who struggle, often in vain, to get their children into better schools. (The Superman in the title refers to one charter school operator's childhood belief that the ghetto in which he lived might one day be rescued by the Man of Steel.)/I>
