I read the article; thank you for posting the link. I have bemoaned, cheered, and denigrated the way teachers are depicted on screen, and ultimately, in society. I especially enjoyed the concise manner in which the films are discussed. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The Big Screen tends to use a lot of smoke and mirrors.

  And yet it’s movies like “To Sir With Love” and “Up the Down Staircase” that prompted a lot of my own generation to get into teaching!
