TODAY IS: National Teacher Day, sponsored by the National Education Association to honor American educators and acknowledge the profound affect they have on future generations (see nea.org for more info). Edward James Olmos is the tough-but-fair teacher every child deserves in the inspirational 1987 film STAND AND DELIVER, in which he pushes his students to levels of excellence even they don't expect from themselves.
