Waiting For Superman, written and directed by Davis Guggenheim, is a documentary that shows the journey of five children and their families toward potential acceptance into charter schools. Over the course of the film, the founding of several charter schools is shown, including the Harlem Success Academy, founded by educator Geoffrey Canada. Another of the charter schools shown was Kipp Academy, developed by Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin. In 1994, Feinberg and Levin began to redefine what was possible for a classroom of public school students in Houston, Texas. The founders of Kipp Academy believed that establishing Kipp would "help disadvantaged children develop the knowledge, skills, character, and habits necessary to succeed in college." If Nakia had been able to receive services through the Even Start program during that time, she could have qualified for a higher-paying job and, therefore, could have paid her daughter's tuition. Additionally, by receiving these services, Nakia would have the opportunity to develop a stronger knowledge base and be able to help Bianca with her schoolwork. As discussed in Title I of No Child Left Behind, “parents play a critical role in the linguistic and intellectual development of their children” (NCLB, 2002). Children with parents who constantly communicate, play and read with them are more likely to be able to help their children grow. It was interesting to see in the film that many children, including Daisy, had aspirations for their future after college, knowing that they may not even have the chance to attend a 4-year university. He explained, “I want to go to medical or veterinary school because I really want to be a surgeon” (Esparza, Waiting for “Superman,” 2010). It was also inspiring to see how devoted Bianca's mother was and how hard she worked so that her daughter could attend a quality school. As he said, “I don't care what I have to do, I don't care how many jobs I have to get, but [Bianca] is going to college” (Hill, Waiting for “Superman,” 2010). As someone who has had the privilege of attending quality public education institutions, it has been eye-opening to see the struggle some of these families have gone through to provide the same for their children. However, with the push for quality public education through the creation of charter schools, many of these students now have the opportunity to live their dreams thanks to the “superheroes” who made it possible. The bottom line is that the future of our country depends on our commitment to providing all children with access to quality
