Eye Worthy

America's education system is crumbling. While it seems to be a top priority for the political leaders of this nation, very little progress has been achieved. Among thirty developed countries, American students rank 25th in math and 21st in science and we fall behind in almost every other category. Many would argue that one of the greatest countries in the world has one of the worst education systems. Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim takes a look our education system in the documentary, Waiting For Superman, following a handful of promising kids, dissecting our public education system and its many flaws. The film hits select theaters on 9.24. Check on the trailer below. On Monday September 20th, the film will be featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, be sure to tune in.
