Hollywood Teachers

For those who are interested in how the teachers who are glorified in Hollywood films feel about their portrayals, click here to read an interview with Erin Gruwell, the teacher who is the protagonist in Freedom Writers. Also, here is a link to some comments from Ron Clark, the hero of The Ron Clark Story, about his visit to the set of the movie. The website also has some discussion boards you may find interesting--some people bowing down before Clark, others quite critical (i.e., pointing out that he only taught in New York City schools for two years).
