What do you think of this homework policy idea? I've often thought that soon we will be able to assign movies as homework and just have students watch a 2 hour movie at home and then process it in school rather than using critical time with them for the viewing part. I know that seems far away for some areas, but in the metro area I think we are getting close.

It goes back to that 1 out of 100 video. So many people do not have technology whenever they like. It makes me nervous that the more we phase out traditional, and include technological, the wider the learning gap might become? Also, I'm not sure how parents would feel about their children being on the computer or TV at night after school for a 'school' related project. Whether parents capitalize on evening hours or not, that might be the only little bit of time students have to interact with their parents during the day, I wouldn't want to take that away.

According to the Department of Education, the country will need 1.6 million new teachers in the next five years. Retention of talented teachers is one key. Good teaching is about making connections to students, about connecting what they learn to the world in which they live, and this only happens if teachers have history and roots in the communities where they teach

The film-makers betray a lack of understanding of how people actually learn, the active and engaged participation of students in the learning process. They ignore the social construction of knowledge, the difference between deep learning and rote memorization.

Waiting for Superman has ignored deep historical and systemic problems in education such as segregation, property-tax based funding formulas, centralized textbook production, lack of local autonomy and shared governance, de-professionalization, inadequate special education supports, differential discipline patterns, and the list goes on and on.
