TEACH: Teachers Are Talking, Is the Nation Listening

Date: 

Sun, 06/10/2012 - 5:00pm - 8:00pm

Please join us for the Connecticut premier of "TEACH: Teachers Are Talking, Is the Nation Listening."

Teachers Robert and Yvonne Lamothe, co-producers/directors, utilized the voices of teachers to express the ills that  are affecting our educational system throughout our country. Robert and Yvonne will be on site to field a discussion and Q&A session at the end of the screening.

TEACH was unanimously voted into the Boston International Film Festival as a "fearless" documentary and received the Indie Spec Best Cinematography Award. Please visit the Teach documentary website for details. http://www.teachdocumentary.com

This film is about those who don't usually get heard. Many educational movies that distort the truth and promote a business view of education have millions of dollars to promote their misinformation about education. This self funded documentary features conversations about the art of teaching and learning. 

TEACH  brings an important perspective to the national educational debate that is currently being dominated by a corporate led agenda to privatize and profitize education and blame teachers for everything that is wrong with education in this country. This movie takes on many questions about No Child Left Behind, high stakes testing, unequal distribution of education resources, and schools dominated by data driven curriculum instead of providing an education that is dynamic, creative, exciting, and joyful.

Pizza and other refreshments will be served. Donations will be gratefully accepted and DVDs will be on sale for your distribution and independent showings.
