These two teachers had the nerve to expose more kids to AP English classes, their reward? Removal from the program by a principal. How can teachers persevere when the parents and/or administration are both set against them?

"Democratic Schools" Just saw this school on 60 Minutes. The kids hang out all day, play video games, go to class
