Waitng for Superman

“We need someone with enough power to save our children.” The movie depicts many situations that are everyday factors. Circumstances is sometimes an excuse and it also can  be a motivation. But how willing are our teachers to take on the parent job and motivate our students to learn? Everybody wants to blame poverty and issues but the film showed that with the right approach and effectiveness of good teachers, smaller classrroms with programs and funding. But why cant this be our publc schools? Society has a lot to offer our children with limited ways for them to deasl. Being a student observer in the middle school I work with a student that is far behind in reading, writing, and comprehension. It is impossible for the teacher to deal with that individual student with a classroom filed with about  25 to 30 student. So who has failed this child some may say the parent,and some may say the teacher, and some may even say the student. How can a student who does not retain information be held accountable? So whose fault is it , the parent, the student, or the teacher?
