Synopsis

Davis Guggenheim, director of An Inconvenient Truth, focuses his attention on the depressing state of American public education. While students in developed and developing countries excel in math, science--almost every subject--American students are falling farther and farther behind. True, American pupils rank higher on the "confidence" index, but the actual average intellectual capacity of these students belies an inconvenient truth: we're getting dumber, and we're cocky about it. Are charter schools the answer? Massive funding increases? Ritalin? Waiting for 'Superman' explores all the problems and potential solutions, and makes for a surprisingly entertaining, eye-opening film.

Davis Guggenheim---USA---2010---102 mins.
