I can almost guarentee, since I have every intention of teaching high school history, that given the oppurtunity I will show United 93 to my class. But it would be dependent on my academic standards for the school year and whatnot. History teachers use movies all the time. Hell, one of the long term projects I would have my students do is pick a movie based on a historical "activity" (like Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, just to name a few), they would then have to do research, then write a paper either supporting the movie as "factly" based or not support it. Pretty much history vrs. hollywood.
Teachers are ALWAYS using movies. We take ADVANTAGE of what Hollywood offers us.
