Ah, the classroom movie. So ripe a setting for tales of crap teachers learning to lead and crap students learning to learn. For some reason the ultimate movie about teaching and teachers is absent from the above only a blip on the above honor roll -- yes, I speak of 1995's Dangerous Minds, the movie that taught us the most important lesson of all: That even a two-hit wonder like Coolio could make one of the best (according to Billboard) ditties of all time.
Seriously, kids. If Coolio can make it, so can you.
