The movie is "The Great Debaters" with Denzel Washington. It is based
on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College in
Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate
team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship.
It's a great movie, very inspiring.

The Freedom Writers
and I remember watching a movie about debating with two guys from a
poorly performing school in LA who went on to place well in the National
debate tournament, it may have been a documentary.

Does anyone have suggestions for movies/movie clips scenes that
promote school success?
So far, I have
* Lean on Me - the testing scene(s)
* Akeelah and the Bee
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Karen
