1.) In the documentary "Waiting For Superman" children across the United States are struggling to receive an equal opportunity across the country. Adults can get in the way of change in education because apparently adults have more needs than children. Adults have more bills to pay, and they rather have more support so they can provide for the children. However the harsh reality is that adults really don't care for children's education because they have more important things to focus on such as work and bills. Also adults have more say than children, but I believe that education must be the number 1 focus for children.
2.) The obligation to other's people's children is to not care as much because it is not our child. However society must realize that if a child is not treated like they belong in the classroom, they may not want to learn. Teachers who show care often have good results from the students. In my personal experience, I have felt that teachers who treated their students as if they were there own children often I had a good experience in the class.
3.) As seen in the documentary, some of the kids did not get accepted to the schools they wanted due to the unfair process of the lottery. When the school fails a kid, they feel that they are not worthy or good enough for that school. I believe that students should not feel that way. The feeling of not being accepted to the institution they want, may stick with them for a long time. The school system should be a fair opportunity for students and they should make the children their number 1 priority rather than the adults.
