Waiting for Superman (Chad McFaul)

I recently watched the documentary "Waiting for Superman", a documentary directed by Davis Guggenheim. The film is about the dire state of the United States' public school system and offers possible solutions. "Waiting for Superman" describes the many obstacles in the way of reforming our education system while also shining light on model schools.
The makers of this film used a wide variety of argument styles and tried to appeal to a large audience. The film successfully uses logos, pathos, ethos, and fact claims when demonstrating the severe flaws in our education system. One part in particular that caught my attention, was when they started talking about the strength of teacher's unions. The educators interviewed, described the lengthy process of terminating a tenured teacher. They interviewed a teacher of the year, as well as other prominent educators in order to establish credibility. When citing facts or describing practices such as "the lemon dance", the filmmakers chose to display it in a cartoon form, which in my opinion was to show how silly or animated our education system is and why it should change.
Overall the film used extremely prominent people to talk about the problems facing America's education system and successfully informed a viewing audience that was more than likely unaware of the dire situation in our classrooms.
