what do we think of waiting for superman !

" our system is broken ,  and it seems impossible to fix , but we can't wait "

i mean  , it seems that america is almost perfect ! the land of second chances .
i only watched this cause st Oprah recommended it and i have to tell you ,  st Oprah is what she is for a reason .

watch this documovie as it reveals the catastrophe behind it's country's  education system . Davis gugenheim's feature makes us realise how important education is and this doesn't only apply to america but to the whole world as each country faces it's own vexations .

The movie starts with a few families that find it a struggle to their children's education . So interestingly made , this documentary will definitely not add an eye bag or two ! hahahaha ! it's actually is enlighten with some really really interesting theories (note : the lemon dance and the tenure principal) !

Davis gugenheim cleverly produces  (as what he would call  , his second baby ) with editions of  simple but eye catching animations to illustrate the realities of a charter our even a low performing academy from the bronx .  

Many familiar faces appear in this feature to pour their opinions on this matter . people like Bill gates , michele ree whom who i will be talking about later on , and many more . Davis Gugenheim   , who brought us to the view of some spectacular docu-movies  like " an inconvient truth " and a few episodes of melrose place and 24 brought real raw emotions to this and i mean  tears and anger and happiness ( and i'm talking from my point of  view ) hahahha !


okay , coming back to michele rhee , who happens to be the education chancelor of the state of columbia .
i have sooooooo much respect for this women . unlike some people who are  in the view of the public who only crap on stage for speech sake ,  michele rhee actually does what she says . 
she went on a firing spree  ( hahahaha that's what oprah said )

 she fired so many teachers and principals even the ones from her children's school ! hahahha ! there really are teachers who deserve the sack but in america there's something called a tenure which i'm not gonna talk about ! you watch this and you will know ! hahahha! (i sound sooo mystical ) .


anyway , the most shocking thing to me was the lottery system in schools  , as in children getting admitted to a school only depending on a numbered ball ( it's actually bingo) or luck ! LUCK ! i really hope i don't see anything like this in malaysia . OH WAIT ! it's not luck but it's  another matter  in malaysia . hahaha !


                                                   michele rhee ,the women who went on a firing spree !

to conclude , i feel sooo lucky and you too should feel the same . just clear your schedule for the day and watch this ! you won't regret it ! better still , watch it with your family ! hahahaha !
