stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that<br />
inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying "drop-out<br />
factories" and "academic sinkholes," methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.<br />
