Edupunk Nerd News: Storming the Barricades of Public Education -- with Trailers!

Here's a follow-up to my previous post. Take a look at the trailers of 3 documentaries currently being produced about the state of public education and teachers' unions.

Here's a great quote too:
Those good teachers deserve our respect. Wanting lousy teachers out of the classroom doesn’t mean you’re against all teachers. A point so obvious, I can hardly believe it needs to be made. This absurd idea that you have got to support every teacher, or else you hate all teachers, has been an effective myth put forward by the union for years.
OH YES. Then again, this is the kind of reductive "argument" being used against all sorts of other issues.
