Blog 8: Waiting for Superman

I actually attended a Charter School and honestly it failed majority of my graduating class and past alumnus. I feel like the education system in this country in the past decade has gotten worse. Students do not feel the need to want to attend school and I do not blame them because many teachers feel the need to prejudge students and feel like kids from a certain ethnic group are difficult to teach. I went to the same school for eight years and in my eight years of attending that school, I realized that the only reason these teachers wanted to teach us was not because they loved teaching but because it would look good on their resume, so they can get a better job somewhere else. These teachers could say on their resume "Taught underprivileged group of black students and I survived" to make it look like some freedom writer story. I came to the realization of it because after every school year, these same teachers would never return back the following year. I can say though that attending a Charter School was better than attending a Public school. I learned more even though that meant teaching myself, but we had a good system that every student followed. We had to wear a uniform that made us look like business men and women getting ready for work at a cooperate building. My school prepared me on how life would be like after graduating. I do not condemn my school, only the teachers who taught us for the mere purpose of guilt.Waiting for Superman exposes these bad education system, but the people who I feel sorry for are the students who are not being given a fair chance for a better education.
