Must See Documentary
A Must See Movie is about Bobby Hurley's Basketball Program at St. Anthony's in Jersey City. Not only has he won the most high school basketball state championships, but he molds young men and sends them to college. A great story about a man who has devoted his life to shaping impressionable young men.

Waiting for Superman
For those of you who haven't seen the movie Waiting for Superman, it is worth checking out. It's a short 90 minute documentary about our failing education system (you can view the trailer here).
It makes the point that teachers are a national resource, but teachers' unions often obstruct the process of reform. It highlights many egregious results of unions, particularly the difficulty in firing terrible teachers.
It is structured around the stories of five parents trying to enroll their children into elite charter schools and describes how some charter schools are doing a fantastic job in even the worst neighborhoods in America. It doesn't answer every question about how to fix American school system, but it does a great job pointing several flaws in the system. The official site for the movie allows you to buy the dvd and encourages you to get active in the movement to reform public education.
