  3. 'Won't Back Down' gets a D+ for a public school polemic ★ 1/2

    Bored and visibly sneering as she fiddles with her cellphone while sitting at her desk, the grade school teacher barely takes notice of the sweet young girl challenged by learning disabilities. The student stands nervously before the blackboard, struggling to read a sentence aloud. The other students mock her, cruelly. The teacher tacitly encourages the mockery. She is union-protected mediocrity incarnate, and she may as well be shown tying the student to a railroad track, Snidely Whiplash-style.

  4. Low teacher pay leads to mediocre teachers

    Old sayings are clichés, but they're oft repeated for the simple reason that they're usually true. Snooty writers such as columnists avoid that shorthand method of communicating an idea — obviously it's beneath our keen mental capacity — but...

  6. A determined teacher enters the Octagon in 'Here Comes the Boom' ★★ 1/2

    Wait a sec. How did the Kevin James mixed martial arts movie end up a more convincing portrait of the plight of the American public school teacher than "Won't Back Down," a film that's actually<em> about</em> that subject?

  7. Slain diplomat from River Forest was a girl with an adventurous mind

    Before she was a young U.S. foreign service officer stationed in Afghanistan, before she and others were blown up by a bomb, before she was eulogized at Fenwick High School on Tuesday, Anne Smedinghoff was a girl.

  9. 'The Great Gatsby' is so right, and Leonardo DiCaprio is so wrong

    What's to live for? The price of wine continues to skyrocket, and Warren Buffett is now tweeting. What's next for us culturally? Bingo night at the Louvre?

  10. Inside the actors' studio, with Zach Braff

    Zach Braff (Northwestern University, class of '97), the third most popular Zach in Hollywood (after Galifianakis and Efron), went back to his old school last week. He'd returned to teach an acting class, a one-time workshop. The day before, he tweeted: &ldquo;Illinois, I am in you.&rdquo; Then later, more nostalgically: &ldquo;Northwestern University, I'm back. Are we good at sports now?&rdquo; I had assumed Braff was not a big deal anymore &mdash; that, though &ldquo;Scrubs&rdquo; reruns remain a fact of life and memories of &ldquo;Garden State&rdquo; linger, his voice acting (&ldquo;Oz The Great and Powerful&rdquo;) and Kickstarter campaign to raise money for a &ldquo;Garden State&rdquo; follow-up spoke volumes.
