Should be required viewing for teachers, 9 December 2000
10/10
Author: pyotr-3 from Washington DC

One of the greatest tragedies in America today is the fact that teachers so desperately need to see this film, yet so few will ever see it. It is a tragedy. This film sheds much-needed light on one of the most important issues facing every teacher in America, making it all very sane and showing teachers how simple it is to explain things to kids.

If your school district does not have this film, see to it that someone there gets it and shows it to the teachers. You may just save some lives.
