How about "Conrack" or "The Water is Wide" ,two movies about Pat Conroy's experience as a teacher on an isolated island off South Carolina.The story is touching and especially relevant for anyone in or going into  the teaching field.

I was asked today for a recommendation of a movie or book (such as  
"Stand and Deliver") which would inspire _teachers_ to have high  
expectations for their young adult students, to give 100% each day to  
their teaching.  What would you recommend?
