Introduction
The education received by the poor, urban students in the public schools is not
sufficient enough to enhance competition from their counterparts, middle and upper-income
students. From the movie "won't back down" and the documentary "Children in American
schools" poverty is a broad aspect that displays the disparities/ inequalities in the education
given to students from suburban communities, the poorer rural communities, and the inner
cities.
Won't Back Down is a movie about a failing primary school, displaying the American
public education experiencing a meltdown and producing high school graduates who are less
literate as compared to those in the same grade school some years back. The movie embraces
the idea of parents taking control of their children's schools by rewarding the gifted teachers,
condemn the lazy and overpaid teachers and generally reorganize the administration. Jamie
Fitzpatrick is a single mom who is an auto-dealer secretary during the day and a night shift
bartender has Malia a third grader who is dyslexic as a daughter. Malia attends a classroom
of a teacher who is an underperformer but yet the most overpaid teacher as presented by her
colleagues. Jamie shows her determination in wanting to get Malia changed to a different
classroom with an inspired teacher, Nona, but her efforts are shuttered by an opposing force

two characters are determined to ensure reformation by improving public schools as it is a
system that is broken and must be fixed.

have collapsed ceilings, walls that are crumbling and water damaged structures contrasting
them to the wealthier district public schools that have pristine cafeterias, huge pools, and their
trimmed landscape. Jonathan Kozol a writer of the book ‘Savage inequalities' where this
documentary is based on explains the problems facing the underfunded schools including;
perpetual leaks, outmoded use of burning furnaces, inadequate computers, holes in ceilings
and buildings that lack bathrooms. In the wealthier schools they tend to have all that the
underfunded schools lack and more including; computers and robotic la...
