THE ENGLISH TEACHER, REVIEW

They say that the best way to learn a subject is to teach it, and, as a former high school chalk-pusher I heartily agree. In Craig Zisk's 'The English Teacher,' the title character teaches the likes of 'A Tale of Two Cities' while some of the greats taped to the walls like Mark Twain overlook the classroom. The teacher represents learning a lot about Charles Dickens by searching out good questions for classroom discussion. But what this teacher needs to learn about of which she has been content to know little is romance. In a hackneyed but amusing set of interviews with a series of losers whom she blind-dates, she grades each of the men, e.g. an F for a narcissist who doesn't even have money to pay the check and a C for a bore with a mustache. It's not easy to find true love when you're forty-five, but thanks to Dan Chariton and Stacy Chariton who wrote the script for "The English Teacher," she's about to learn that the best way to find the love of your life is not to seek it.
