I would suggest all of you see Waiting for Superman.  We have it in the Oviatt Library.

You might think about comparing a movie like Waiting for Superman to Dead Poets Society or Election. Or find one of the 'comedies' about high school and look at it after seeing Waiting for Superman.  What is the 'movie' version of school like compared to the reality?  Why are the two so different?  Or are they?
