Education reform is becoming more and more of a hot topic which will become a political force during the upcoming elections. Two months ago, USA Today education columnist Greg Toppo
published an web article highlighting upcoming documentaries on education reform. He cited four of them that are coming out this year alone:
- Teached by Kelly Amis-- http://www.loudspeakerfilms.com/about-teached/
- The Cartel by Bob Bowdon --http://www.thecartelmovie.com/ (I actually have seen this movie in Atlanta last week)
- The Lottery by Madeleine Sackler -- http://thelotteryfilm.com/
- Waiting for Superman by Oscar-winning filmmaker David Guggenheim -- http://www.waitingforsuperman.com/
According to the article, all four movies focus on improving education via school choice and charter schools as well as exposing current problems and corruption in public education. Whether you agree with the movies' messages or not, working with others requires a mutual understanding of different points of views. We have to be open-minded and stay inform on what the other side thinks. In addition, the other side need to reciprocate the same courtesy and stop perpetuating the blame game.
