Hobart Shakespeareans

I know a lot of you share my feelings about the value of education, so I would like to point out an episode on the PBS series POV called "The Hobart Shakespeareans." It's about a fifth grade teacher who is teaching a bunch of poor kids to perform Hamlet. But he's teaching them so much more, like the value of being a decent human being and what a good education can do for you. I found this program (what I saw of it, I came in towards the end) very moving. The website can be found here
