‘Waiting for Superman’ makes Superman cry

THE ROUNDUP
“Waiting for Superman,” a well-made documentary by Davis Guggenheim, illustrates how dysfunctional our public school system has become.
It follows the stories of five children, many of whom are from families that struggle economically, who are trying to seek a good education.
Their parents are met with tough obstacles that ultimately lead up to all five students (Daisy, Emily, Francisco, Bianca and Anthony) applying for the lottery that public schools offer.
