info_outlineIn this episode of the 'top five' podcast, my sister Annie and I launched a new series where we explore portrayals of different careers in movies. We opted to start with Teaching, with this episode making me reflect back on our "Top Five Movies About College" episode.
Despite veering off the beaten path, we discuss both movies and characterizations that we think reflect disparate elements of the education system and the teaching profession as a whole. It was a unique discussion as Annie and I approached this series concept differently but it gave us context for the series, which I do anticipate will be a BIG one. We're already working on Doctors, Lawyers, Prostitutes (why not?), and...well, what ideas do y'all have? We want to hear them!!
