Q6) The film has definite realist tones that can be perceived as negative. If change is to occur, we must find hope. What hope for a better future do you find in the film?

In "Waiting For Superman" the film shows many high authority people such as presidents trying to improve the education system but nothing seems to be working. They either don't give enough money to the education program or they are backing out because it is too much work because the system is really that bad. It is extremely important that people don't lose hope anywhere including parents, their kids, the teachers, and so on. I think one of the only possible way to give education a better future is to start over. Yes it would be very difficult and expensive but with how much the nation is in debt now I don't think it should really matter at this point. I was fortunate enough in my education that I didn't have to go through what some of the children in the film went through. It was very heartbreaking to see some of them not get into the better schools in the lottery drawing. It was impossible to not feel sorry for them. But like everyone else, if they don't lose hope they can find a way to get through the struggles of a good education.
