Friends! It is World Teacher Day! Look at what we have for you: fantastic reviews of American Teacher and an SF premiere this week. Please let us duly celebrate all the teachers who kept us from being a-holes.

★★★★★ “This heartbreaking and essential look into the lives of those who put so much into educating other people’s children ought to be seen by anyone concerned about the fate of the public school system, and the nation as a whole.”
- Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

“A heartfelt, bittersweet portrait of several teachers as they make the difficult decision of whether to stick with the profession…a nicely drawn study.”
- Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times

“As we watch the individuals in “American Teacher” struggle with the burdens the system places on them, it’s hard not to feel like crying, both for them specifically and for our national culture. As one education authority laments after revealing his son’s salary-based job choice, ‘Something’s wrong when selling cellphones is more important to society than being a teacher.”
- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“Every policymaker should be required to see the new film American Teacher. Powerful, compelling!”
- Mark Phillips, Washington Post
