Rennaisance Man.  Danny DaVito as a washed up exec has to teach a group
fledgling, young, wannabe, soldiers and doesn't have a clue.  He shows
up, doesn't really want to teach, but because he reads Shakespeare the
students get into it too.  I think its a good all around movie.

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.

	Colleagues,
	
	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?
