This movie gave many shocking facts about education. It saddens me to know that there are so many horrible schools and horrible teachers out there. Children deserve an equal and quality education. These children in the inner city schools CAN learn and they want to learn but because of how bad their school is they do not have that chance. The only way they can get a better education is if they make in into a private or charter school. The education offered at such schools should be available to everyone. Like we talked about in class, I have realized that i have taken my education for granted. i had a decent school but never took advantage of its opportunites. I was in the middle part of the system. I never needed extra help but I was not advancing in any subjects. I could have been but I didn't want to and no one told me that I could. It broke my heart to see these children being rejected from schools that could change their life's. For many getting in these better schools is the only chance they have for a better life.
Good education starts with with good teachers and principals. Many schools do not have quality staff. The tenured rule is just stupid to me. If the teacher is not performing to the standards set by the schools districts they should be helped or let go. Children are our future and they deserve the best education.
