Week 4: Critical Reflection Paper

In this week assignment, I watched this movie: Waiting for the "Superman", directed by Davis Guggenheim and produced by Lesley Chilcott in 2010. 

This documentary film criticizes how the American public education system fails.  It reveals parents’ everyday pressure in striving to gain access to good charter schools for their children. 

 In preparing for writing reflection paper for this movie, I had also read the following articles:

and coincidently, my husband has shared this interesting video to me this week.  I found it very entertaining while pointing out the problems of U.S. education:
