Images of teachers in Hollywood cinema (Part 3) (original) (raw)

The third part of this Dossier continues to explore how Hollywood cinema has portrayed teachers, both in their professional and in their private life, on the one hand, by reflecting society's beliefs and attitudes, and on the other hand, by helping to spread images of teachers which are often stereotyped and seldom consistent with the real situation and the contradictions of schools. Although focussed on American schools, the Dossier presents a series of criteria useful for reflecting on and discussing any school system and its teachers. - Parts 1 & 2 are also available at Academia.edu
