Our Top 12 movies and TV shows that highlight education and life lessons. These must-watch films and series capture the power of education, showcasing stories of dedicated teachers, motivated students, and the challenges and triumphs found within classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Before moving on to our list, we\u2019d like to address the importance of educational apps and software that are elevating the teaching and learning experience. Living and breathing in the 21st century is synonymous with the era of technology. It is highly vital to seize the opportunity to utilize these readily available tools to further expand learning horizons. This expanding phase of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickschools.com\/quickschools\/features\">school software<\/a> and the array of <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinemasterscheduler.com\/2022\/08\/05\/latest-top-trends-for-online-learning-in-2022\/\">digital tools<\/a> are creating a novel learning experience. Helping to enhance students\u2019 learning experience drastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Gone are those days when education was just about learning from a textbook or sitting in a classroom staring at the blackboard for hours a day. Now, education has adopted a new way of imparting knowledge and art with media playing an integral role in it. Movies are not just a form of entertainment. They can also be used as a modern teaching tool to underline and address educational issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Films and TV shows have the ability to create an emotional and sentimental connection with their audiences. Students today can find textbooks less relatable. It can be established that mixing up learning materials to include media can truly be a powerful and effective educational tool. Children from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and races can connect. They can come together. It aids their learning allowing them to transcend beyond classroom boundaries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ht-block-toc  is-style-outline htoc htoc--position-wide toc-list-style-plain\" data-htoc-state=\"expanded\"><span class=\"htoc__title\"><span class=\"ht_toc_title\">Table of Contents<\/span><span class=\"htoc__toggle\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><g fill=\"#444\"><path d=\"M15 7H1c-.6 0-1 .4-1 1s.4 1 1 1h14c.6 0 1-.4 1-1s-.4-1-1-1z\"><\/path><path d=\"M15 1H1c-.6 0-1 .4-1 1s.4 1 1 1h14c.6 0 1-.4 1-1s-.4-1-1-1zM15 13H1c-.6 0-1 .4-1 1s.4 1 1 1h14c.6 0 1-.4 1-1s-.4-1-1-1z\"><\/path><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/span><div class=\"htoc__itemswrap\"><ul class=\"ht_toc_list\"><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#htoc-movies-highlighting-education\">Movies highlighting education<\/a><ul class=\"ht_toc_child_list\"><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#htoc-freedom-writers\">1.

She made an effort, jumping hurdles to encourage her students to pursue higher education. Despite them facing multitudes of challenges. Based on a true story, the teacher has to navigate through the difficult moral codes of her new class, who are all persistent in protecting their own. She was initially hated by her students. However, she tries her hardest to instill the values of tolerance. Teaching them how to work hard to live a successful life after high school. A perfect depiction of a compassionate and dedicated teacher, Erin Gruwell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The most important message is that she sets the perfect example of hurdling through obstacles in order to succeed. This was shown when she faced greater resistance, especially from her colleagues and her section head, who lives by regulations and sees such resources as \u201ca waste\u201d. However, that did not stop her from trying to educate them. She paid for school resources out of her own pocket when she didn&#8217;t need to. Going above and beyond despite her students\u2019 initial behavior towards her. She wanted them to have a better chance at life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Students who watch this movie are sure to live their dreams with hard work, dedication, and tolerance. Despite any and all hardships you have to face, it teaches viewers to always have their ultimate end goal in their minds and work towards achieving it. Truly, you can do anything you set your mind to. All it takes is action, perseverance, and facing your fears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-3-idiots1\">2. <strong>3 Idiots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/XXsHIc9zapWabiT_SoY4IWF8-QeXWD6WkCx-zQTtYhJ9kqVUuCiimNT_K6oJFuq7W781_xqEP9NW-7SwR5gJeJd_n0XOpsvI4T7FeMjOv7QDS_qns386E4TFE1Q0hiPwAqYPTtBuqO84G_YQF_vvj_gSp2_cz89F2QvxlaFRXiEacHmieIfs8mRDX7_0mA\" alt=\"3 idiots\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.kitafund.com\/3-idiots-quotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KitaFund<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">If this is a movie you haven\u2019t heard about, now is the time to add it to your to-watch list! This hilarious yet touching film will surely have you laughing (and crying). It is the perfect embodiment of the quote: \u201cEverybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Narrated in two timelines, one in the present and the other ten years in the past, the story follows the friendship of three students at an Indian engineering college and is a satire about the social pressures under the Indian education system. This movie highlights educational issues such as parental expectations, teachers\u2019 traditional attitudes toward learning, and societal influences on the students\u2019 educational development that have long permeated Asian society and households.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The movie revolves around the main character, Rancho, whose actual name in the movie is Phunsukh Wangdu. He was the son of a servant who served Ranchhoddas Chanchad\u2019s Father. Chanchad\u2019s father was a wealthy man, but uneducated, and wanted his son to be an educated person. However, his son didn\u2019t share the same dream and didn\u2019t want to further his studies, so he went abroad. Wangdu, on the other hand, was eager to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Chanchad\u2019s Father put him in college under his son\u2019s name (Ranchhoddas Chanchad) because he wanted a degree for his son, despite it only being in his name. They decided that Wangdu would study under the name of Ranchodas. Wangdu, known as Rancho until the end of the film, didn\u2019t actually care about the \u201cdegree\u201d and was in love with knowledge and learning. He was well-known for his phrase, <em>all is well<\/em>. There is even a catchy song on the phrase!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This movie clearly sends the message that learning is not confined to certain institutions. You CAN learn anywhere and everywhere. The success formula is to always do what you love or otherwise love what you do, which, honestly, most of us need to hear more often.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-the-social-network1\">3. <strong>The Social Network<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Untitled.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"404\" data-attachment-id=\"17557\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2023\/01\/17\/our-top-12-must-watch-movies-and-tv-shows-highlighting-education\/untitled-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Untitled.png?fit=720%2C404&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"720,404\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Untitled\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Untitled.png?fit=720%2C404&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Untitled.png?resize=720%2C404&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Untitled.png?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Untitled.png?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Untitled.png?resize=535%2C300&amp;ssl=1 535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2010\/10\/01\/130265529\/the-social-network-is-a-great-movie-but-dont-overload-the-allegory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NPR<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This is most likely a good movie for your older students to watch. We are sure that they know of Facebook (perhaps not on it but know of it since it is social media and they probably call it Meta now), and perhaps they would like to see how it all started. Tracing the history back to when Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook and the what, with, and the why can help your students to learn the importance of being curious and trying to solve an event that excites them. But then also makes you think how far one should go for their ideas and whether what he did was right or wrong. Could there have been a better way to create Facebook? A great way to discuss ethics in class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Since the topic is about one of the biggest social media platforms, this would be a great way to discuss important<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2022\/06\/01\/social-media-impact-towards-your-students\/\"> issues connected to social media<\/a>. For example, privacy issues and bullying are among a few of the cons that come with social media. Social media is. a part of our everyday lives, and it is important to understand its history together with the pros and cons. It allows us to see how much social media has grown and its importance in our lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-the-blind-side1\"><strong>4.&nbsp;The Blind Side<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Based on another true story, The Blind Side is a story of a teen who has bounced around foster care due to his mother suffering from drug addiction. He gets a break when a friend\u2019s father asks the football coach of a Christian school to help enroll him. He makes the team but struggles with places to live, and when the mom of a teammate finds out he\u2019s sleeping outside, she invites him home. Slowly, he becomes part of this family despite the many challenges and bumps along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The Blind Side is a heartwarming tale about looking beyond outward appearances, trust, loyalty, and the realization that family isn\u2019t always blood. You do have to get a box of Kleenex ready though, just in case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-dead-poets-society-19891\">5. <strong>Dead Poets Society (1989)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 300px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/L0uiua0ZAxB1vLUtW-hNh3Vo5mQJZ9f8RSx0wkox6EW8WECcfcdEPoHtZ17vP4wbpS3L0l8gtYxmh_3gcJMVnlCDY7aMrBpqRF5I6r71QeRkQPxZ5dZSSbW3yJgn8HYniRUe88wuvf8_OGSCkmRWoMY5Klsg5xgY7BcSVp8NlWlhwPnGNoIsSGt0QYgegA\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MovieQuotes\/comments\/osfetr\/dead_poets_society_1989\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reddit<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Who hasn&#8217;t heard of this well-loved classic? Even if you\u2019ve heard of it but never got around to watching it, that&#8217;s alright because even we just crossed it off our list recently. (Seriously, no judgments here.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This movie is based on the story of an educator, played by the brilliant Robin Williams, who motivates his students to confront the norm with his poetry teaching. Dead Poets Society was about a teacher who inspired students with his unorthodox teaching methods. This is one of the best movies ever made to help young kids improve their learning life as well as explore and find their individuality. They may even write their own version of \u2018O Captain, my Captain!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-school-of-rock1\">6. <strong>School of Rock<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/Ta4atFuTSDgSQK6hAjaOcdDPWa04RhD_AO1yCb63SEVm2-TNq0_lLP__fbJTzj6pimKzAvehnV60ZnU7BC6JuQrllnJlrQm0wzHfQ9bd2_hp-dMqKMmzDyePzO78L-Tc9FyimyLl3KncNYyh3S5lruGDHgzCz6g62Sb4HBag1v5GJdsnwKpsWWEItJB3\" alt=\"school of rock\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/school-of-rock--247698048225978339\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Since School of Rock actually has the word \u201cschool\u201d in it, we had to add this to our list. This (almost) 20-year-old movie has definitely become a classic that we did not know we needed. We agree that the character that Jack Black played was deceitful in his teacher qualifications (which we do not condone at all), but the overall message of the movie speaks volumes to both teachers and students. Plus, Jack Black ends up making you want to root for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It shows how having a great classroom environment that is filled with a passionate goal can lead to great teamwork. It can also help those who may not have the confidence to have their time to shine. Discover the talents they may have. Winning may not be everything. It is the memories and \u201cmaking the music\u201d that count. And don\u2019t forget, it can also teach students to not lie, as eventually, the truth will come out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">For music teachers, this movie may be a fun lesson for your students, especially to encourage them to create and write their own music. To be creative, and as a class, support each other\u2019s creativity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Not everyone may have the talent for a certain subject, but that doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t have a purpose, as, in the end, everyone in that class had an important role.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">If the subject of \u2018where are they now\u2019 comes up for the actors, don\u2019t forget to pay tribute to Kevin Clark, who played the fantastic drummer, Fred, in the movie. He sadly passed away in 2021.

We\u2019re pretty sure we have all watched this already, but we\u2019re including it in our list because we just have to remind the world of Elle Woods. Not like anybody would ever forget.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Albeit being a lighthearted, feel-good movie, Legally Blonde sends out important messages on women&#8217;s empowerment and owning your choices. Especially in a world where young girls are judged by the way they look, Elle Woods is the literal definition of the saying<em> \u201cnever judge a book by its cover\u201d<\/em> or well in her case, never judge a girl by her pink outfits and perfume-scented r\u00e9sum\u00e9.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important to note that Elle didn&#8217;t just stumble her way into Harvard Law. She actually studied her Prada shoes off for those LSATs, memorized legal jargon (beyond \u201cI object\u201d), and worked relentlessly hard for her internship. That hustle is just inspiring and could potentially inspire young girls out there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">If there&#8217;s anything that Elle represents, it&#8217;s the lesson that we should always embrace who we are. She is evidence that everybody is smart in their own way. Who would ever think that tips from a Cosmo magazine could help solve a murder trial? Elle is at her best when she stops trying to pretend to be someone she\u2019s not, which is true for life in general. We are all at our best when we just decide to be ourselves. (We admit it is a tad bit corny but that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t true.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-the-breakfast-club-19851\">8. <strong>The Breakfast Club (1985)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">To conclude our list of movies is another well-loved film! This coming-of-age comedy-drama film builds the story around five teenage high school students who are much more alike than they thought they were, other than being in detention for the troubles they have caused in school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">These students represent a society and how there are a myriad of people out there with a common problem, stereotypes. Setting out an important lesson, society may judge you for the things you do or who you are, but it is you who knows yourself best. Especially revolving around five high school kids trying to figure their lives out, it addresses an important phase in all our lives- being a teenager. Brilliantly capturing the core thoughts and ideas during the teenage phase.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Side note: This movie came out 40 years ago, and the whole cast got together for the first time to celebrate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q6qMaNWqF1A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Breakfast Club reunion<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-tv-shows-highlighting-education\">Top educational TV shows to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-mr-iglesias1\">9. <strong>Mr. Iglesias&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This high school sitcom is about Gabe Iglesias, a likable public school history teacher assigned to a class of underachievers. When an atrocious assistant principal attempts to \u201ccounsel out\u201d Mr. Iglesias\u2019 students to improve the school\u2019s overall rankings, it\u2019s up to Mr. Iglesias to protect, inspire, and educate them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Portraying subtle but still meaningful messages nonetheless, the first episode ended with Iglesias paying tribute to his high school teacher who believed in him when he didn\u2019t (true story). It goes to show that even if you do not see potential in yourself, there will always be someone who does. The key is to keep moving forward, and eventually, you\u2019ll get there. (And if you haven\u2019t, keep going!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The show also emphasizes the importance of believing in yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone. In one of the episodes, the students in Mr. Iglesias&#8217;s class didn\u2019t believe they could perform well in the school play. However, they just went and did the best they could anyway. No matter how foreign something seems, it is important to remember that it is the first step out of your comfort zone and gives you the opportunity to expand, or in other cases discover your skills. You\u2019ll never know you have a hidden talent if you never try! Funny and entertaining, perfect to unwind after a busy day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-ted-lasso1\">10. <strong>Ted Lasso&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/IazdAV1zjaGbBaGPgF\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/AppleTV-ted-tedlasso-lasso-IazdAV1zjaGbBaGPgF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The show Ted Lasso on Apple TV may seem like just another sports show, but teachers can learn a lot from it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important lessons Ted teaches us is to believe. And it\u2019s not just in ourselves but the people we work with too. You need to believe in both the coach (teacher) and the team (students). Having that positivity towards each other helps not just during those great times, but those times that are hard and when you need to take the time to feel sad, but then move on \u201c<em>like a goldfish<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The show also amplifies how working as a team is important because you can learn a lot from each other. Besides your students learning this lesson, as a teacher, it may also help to talk to your fellow teachers for new ideas or advice. No one is an island that can do it all alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Above all else, Ted teaches us that being genuinely nice can pay off. It can help build bridges more and grow a healthy community that looks out for each other. Even when people have done you wrong, show them kindness. This is a great lesson to teach your students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-the-story-of-us-with-morgan-freeman\"><strong>11.
