The untimely passing of Robin Williams a few weeks ago reminded me of an idea for a post that’s been on my mind for a while (apparently I’m not the only person who thought about this). I’ve always loved movies about teachers and students, and I wanted to share some of the ones that have stuck with me. The idea began as a list of movies that inspired me to teach but ended up as a list of movies about relationships between people, that just happened to have teachers and students as a common theme.
