Before watching this documentary, I have always held a positive attitude towards education in the United States: comprehensively cultivate children's various abilities, and do not force children to learn. But after reading waiting for superman, I realized that the education problem in the US actually seems to force China to be a little more serious. Of course, in different regions of China, there are also different levels of education problems and enrollment tensions. But at least from my childhood to high school, enrolling and studying in China was not as difficult and worrying as the four children in the film.
This little girl, Buanca, is a single mother and her family is poor. She can't even participate in her ceremony. This is already a very important thing in her life. What a blow to her and her mother.
The greater feeling comes from the charter, seed, KIpp in the film, which is different from the public school, and also different from the private school's "good school" enrollment method: lottery.

Looking at the expressions of bianaca, emily dasily anthony waiting for the draw and the expressions of their parents, brothers and sisters, I really think this approach is unfair! People say that China's college entrance examination is unfair, but compared to this kind of lottery, at least we use strength and scores-even if some people fail or succeed in it-to win the result. This kind of lottery is simply nonsense.

Speaking of this, we must talk about why these special schools have appeared. Because in public schools, the school cannot expel teachers at will because of the contract. . . . In the United States, one in every 26 doctors will lose their own license, and one in every 67 lawyers will lose their own license, but for teachers, one in every 2500 will lose their own license. In ILLINORS state, 61 out of 867 schools tried to expel unqualified teachers, but only 28 succeeded in the end. Schools that cannot expel this "bad teacher" will have "the dance of lemons", which means that these schools will change teachers at the end of each semester and give them to other schools.

The color of the whole film is dominated by dark colors, which gives people a heavy feeling.
The LYRIC and flashing text at the end of the film are even more thought-provoking.
