Parents & Teachers Protest "Waiting for Superman"



Teachers Protest 'Waiting for Superman'

MYFOXNY.COM - Along with the films being shown inside a movie theatre in Manhattan, another show unfolded outside: Public school teachers, parents of students, and others protested the film "Waiting for Superman."

The documentary has stirred up debate. The director follows five children -- four of whom attend unsuccessful public schools. They're hoping to get into a charter school, including ones in Harlem.
