"Stories of Schooling in Films and Television: A Cultural Studies Approach to Teacher Education"

Regardless of how we take these quotes from a variety of
movies and television programs, one thing is sure; popular media
tend to show us one vision of schooling, and it is powerful.
That vision, despite all our efforts to change it, is largely
negative, authoritarian, skill driven, and uncaring. When we do
occasionally see a teacher, like Mr. Keating in Dead Poets
society, whose character addresses some important educational
concerns (i.e., thinking for oneself, risk-taking, and the
pursuit of excellence), that role is often extreme and
romanticized.
