Abstract

This article examines education issues in a documentary movie entitled “Waiting for
Superman.” To do this research, the author applied the literary research method to
find words, phrases, sentences, and scenes that explore the education problems in
America. Meanwhile, the sociology of literature was employed to understand the
social background and context of particular story. The research found four issues in
the movie: public education spending, students‟ literacy level, conflicting
regulations, and teacher unions. This research has contributed to American Studies
by understanding the fundamental problem of American people in education. It has
also taught educational stakeholders how to maintain a high-quality learning
activity.
