Teachers Protest 'Waiting for Superman'

MYFOXNY.COM - Along with the films being shown inside a movie theatre in Manhattan, another show unfolded outside: Public school teachers, parents of students, and others protested the film "Waiting for Superman."

The documentary has stirred up debate. The director follows five children -- four of whom attend unsuccessful public schools. They're hoping to get into a charter school, including ones in Harlem.

Geoffrey Canada, who runs Harlem Children's Zone, is featured in the documentary.

At the protest, critics of the film squared off with charter school supporters. More than 100 public school supporters gathered outside this theater on the Upper West Side.

In Harlem, Eva Moskowitz, CEO of Success Charter Network, was at the office, working on creating more charter schools.

If you go to see the film "Waiting for Superman," don't be surprised if you see a person or two or more outside handing out pamphlets and protesting the movie.
