"Waiting for Superman"

I fear that this documentary may advocate for the expansion of charter schools. Bill Gates and Michelle Rhee were both in the trailer. The studies available show that only twenty percent of charters actually perform better than the local public school. Most charters perform at the same level as local schools which is telling since they have smaller classes and more motivated students. It is not an apple to apple comparison. What happens to a student that brings drugs to school at a charter. They are expelled and never return. And at public school? That student will return to campus in about two months. Equal comparison? NO!
