Harlem Children's Zone
The HCZ and its promotion as a model of education to aspire to, especially in the recent documentary "Waiting for "Superman"," have been criticized as an example of the privatization of education in the U.S. University of San Francisco Adjunct Professor in Education Rick Ayers writes that "Waiting for "Superman"" "never mentions the tens of millions of dollars of private money that has poured into the Harlem Children's Zone, the model and superman we are relentlessly instructed to aspire to." One year after this film was made, the Grassroots Education Movement made a film titled "The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman", which accused the original film of exaggerating the success of the HCZ.
