All professions are not adequately portrayed in movies or on TV. It is difficult to watch anything with a teacher as the central character of the story because the script usually seems to understate the commitment, patience, and creativity that great teachers possess or overemphasize the characteristics of a burnt-out or ineffective teacher. Teaching is BOTH an art and a science that requires constant reflection, problem-solving and learning. This page is dedicated to the misunderstood teachers who have devoted their lives, time and energy to a profession that usually doesn't get the credit it deserves.
