Waiting for Superman Filmmaker in Interview with Katie Couric

Soon our surrounding cities will be featuring the documentary "Waiting for Superman". This film showcases the condition of our country's public schools. Katie Couric interviews the filmmaker responsible for this disturbing and damaging view of public schools. As educators, we must be aware that this is coming. Perhaps viewing it together may help us discuss and defend our own program. You can view the interview here.
