Why 'Superman' film should be 'Waiting for Batman'
This was written by Susan Graham, a teacher of family and consumer science (formerly "home ec") for 25 years. She is a National Board-certified teacher, a former regional Virginia teacher of the year, and a fellow of the Teacher Leaders Network. This appeared on the Teacher magazine website. By Susan Graham I was "Waiting for Superman," but I was disappointed. A lot of other people who see this movie -- which paints a distorted view of urban education and unfairly portrays teachers -- are going to be disappointed too, because it should have been entitled "Waiting for Batman." Waiting for Superman director Davis Guggenheim is just too young to have met the Superman and Batman from my formative years. He should watch more TV because he’s got his superheroes mixed up. When I was a kid, I came home from school and watched the black and white 1950s Superman series
