DESCRIPTION: Weaving the perspectives of policy experts and startling facts with the 
 lives and careers of four teachers, American Teacher tells the collective 
 story of those closest to the issues in our educational system—the 3.2 
 million teachers who spend every day in classrooms. Documenting the 
 day-to-day lives and sacrifices of public school teachers, this outstanding 
 film heightens our awareness of the real crisis in our educational 
 system—how little we value our strongest, most committed, and most 
 effective teachers, and the ripple effect this has on how our children 
 learn.\n\nIn American Teacher, Oscar winner Matt Damon narrates this 
 eye-opening look at American education, as viewed from the perspective of 
 four dedicated teachers. Directed by Academy Award winner Vanessa Roth (The 
 Third Monday in October) and produced by Dave Eggers (Away We Go), the film 
 aims to address difficult questions about the broken public school system 
 through honest dialogue with the people who strive to give children the 
 education they deserve.  \n\nMarjorie Leonard, president-elect of the 
 CAL-Retired Teachers Association, and Sherry Blackman, thirty-year veteran 
 at Walters Jr. High in Fremont, will lead our discussion following the 
 film.\n \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/05/07/18713102.php
