Chandler Bing = Educator Extraordinaire
I'll admit it. I'm a softie for the "eduflick". You know the one - it's the same story every time: hard-working superstar teacher goes to low-performing, urban school and defies all the odds to get his students to excel. It's been called different things at different times - Stand and Deliver, Dangerous Minds, Lean on Me. TNT just came out with the latest iteration, "The Ron Clark Story" starring none other than Matthew Perry, aka Chandler Bing (aka that is my scone).
I'm watching it now and have to say that it's been an awesome movie. It makes me wish I was teaching, for starters, but it also makes me appreciate the efforts of the thousands of incredible educators out there who, like Mr. Clark, go to work every day and give their everything to inspire a love of learning in their students. So, as the school year kicks off anew, let me on behalf of Our Education give a shout out to the great teachers out there. Best wishes in the '06-'07 school year!
