Lx years subsequently the Piffling Rock Nine faced mobs of racially charged hatred and became cornerstones of the Civil Rights move, Teach Us All examines how the nowadays day United States education system fails to alive up to that hope of desegregation as it slides back into a re-segregation of its modernistic schools.
Due to storied histories of discriminatory housing practices which enforced segregation, example studies of the public schools in Piddling Rock, New York City, and Los Angeles present microcosms of the inequities and challenges manifesting in classrooms across America. Educator turnover rates become such that some schools just take to depend on warm bodies. Applying to a high schoolhouse in a amend neighborhood becomes more competitive than applying for an Ivy League academy. The labyrinthine admissions process leaves working-grade and minority parents out in the common cold, and students believe their high schools are but pipelines into the prison system.
The film weaves together interviews from ii Little Rock 9 members, archival images, and news footage to ask: How far accept we really come in threescore years and where do we get from here?

FILMMAKER'S Argument: "Teach Us All is organized around three primal themes: the critical office of teachers in shaping the lives of young people; the urgent demand for customs engagement to ensure the success of schools; and the power of students themselves, who must now take up the mantle from the Fiddling Rock Nine and fight for the quality, equitable educational system they deserve and that has yet to be realized. But ultimately, this affects all of us, and can simply be solved in collaboration."
