Teach! Part 2: Teachers Take Action, Is the Nation Responding (2011)

Public education in the US is under is under attack from all political spectrums. From Washington, DC to Wisconsin, teachers and their unions are a primary target of the talking heads, the media, local, state and federal government politicians. Films such as Waiting for Superman contribute to these attacks by promoting charter schools as a panacea. Teach! is one of the few films to actually talk directly to the practiced education experts, public school teachers, to hear their experiences, their views and their proposals for improving public education. Interviews with teachers from many school districts illuminate what's happening to schools across the country, what is impacting their performance, and their understanding of the reality of the performance and purpose of the charter movement.
