  2. One of my major criticisms of today’s public education system is that it fails to recognize and address young people’s attraction to media.

  3. Teaching about film "If people aren't taught the language of sound and images, shouldn't they be considered as illiterate as if they left college without being able to read or write?" George Lucasfilm director

  4. Teaching about film “Movies, advertisements, and all other visual media are tools teachers need to use and media we must master if we are to maintain our credibility in the coming years.”Jim Burke, fromThe English Teacher’s Companion

  5. Teaching about film “If video is how we are communicating and persuading in this new century, why aren't more students writing screenplaysas part of their schoolwork?" Heidi Hayes Jacobs
