Waiting for whom?

I thought that maybe we were going to manage to avoid the Waiting for Superman insanity, but, alas, it appears that thanks to the Research Bureau and Holy Cross, we are not going to be so lucky.
I'm sure that both organizations would bill this as "enabling an important conversation about education" or some such, but this is roughly equivalent to "enabling an important conversation about geography" by starting with a movie that fudges facts to talk about the world being flat.
C'mon here: this is the movie (this is no particular order):
No, I won't be there (I've got someone with bronchitis here), but do us all a favor: read the bottom two articles, if nothing else, if you must go to this.
And to Holy Cross and the Research Bureau: let's try to have conversations that start from a factual basis, shall we?
