Have you ever heard news reports about US children falling behind other industrialized nations? How about a teacher complaining about their students and school? Do you believe there should be a national standardized test to measure student achievement? Do you question the difference between charter and public schools? Are you a parent or grandparent concerned about the future success of your child? Are you a business owner concerned about the competence of your future workforce? Should teachers be unionized? How are schools being held accountable? What are parents doing to ensure the success of their children in school? If you have any of these questions or any others related to the current status of the US public education system, then you need to participate in this event.
The MIAECT Chapter invites you to a viewing of the controversial 2010 educational documentary, Waiting for Superman, at the Royal Oak Landmark Main Theatre on Wednesday, February 9, 2010 (please see attached document for details and ticket information). The movie is no longer showing in the Detroit Metro area, so the MIAECT Chapter wants to bring it to you! The movie showing begins promptly at 4pm and will be followed by a discussion from 6-7pm.
