Peyton Place

Peyton Place es una película controversial de los 50's. El director de la escuela tiene varias enseñanzas respecto al sistema educativo:

Dirigiéndose al consejo de administración de la escuela:
"To people like you, education is just a necessary evil.
You can't see it, so it's worth nothing.
Well, let me tell you this, Mr. Harrington...
The things we can't see are the most important things on this earth.
They're called ideas. "

Dos reglas para la educación productiva:
"First, I want this school to teach the truth, as far as we know it.
I don't want any teacher making a fairy tale out of life.
It's hard enough as it is without being unequipped to meet it.
And rule two...
teach a minimum of facts and a maximum of ideas.
Our job is to teach children how to think...
not just to memorize for a couple of weeks."
