  9. Education blame game leaves kids behind

    The film's plot is predictable: One engaged parent and a dedicated teacher are the beloved heroes, while the teachers' union and an apathetic school board are rendered useless, and at times rogue. "Won't Back Down," in theaters starting Friday, tells the story (inspired by true events) of our decayed public school system in America; and in true Hollywood fashion these two "Norma Raes" give us a fight that stirs our emotions but does little to highlight the complexities of a system that has been broken for decades. As often happens in bureaucracies, the original focus and intent of the work becomes murky and unclear, and the children become lost amid tall ambitions — a small subplot of an adult hero movie.
