The American Teacher movie and discussion
By popular demand we are doing something a little different this month. We are going to watch a movie called "The American Teacher". It is a documentary about teaching in America. I hope you will join us on Friday the 13th of January at 9:15 am to watch this film. It is 80 minutes long and then we will discuss the movie. Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=dzvD9v7CbEE
Please let me know if you can make it. The number of people attending will determine the location. It will, most likely, be hosted at a home. If you are not free during the daytime and would like to schedule an evening showing, let me know. That is certainly a possibility.
