School films depict educational leaders as lone miracle workers. Students of colour and/or from low socio-economic backgrounds are shown as victims in need of a saviour, who appears in the form of a (usually White) teacher who lacks the qualifications and experience to work with students living in poverty. "Freedom Writers," "Music of the Heart," and "Dangerous Minds" teach moviegoers (the public) that these students require only underqualified, inexperienced, caring, Caucasian teachers, even though the research shows otherwise.
