Boston Public (2000-2004) was a television series, created by David E. Kelley, about the personal and professional lives of teachers working at a public high school in Boston. more »

Lauren Davis:
Three siblings. Two are doctors, the other's an investment banker. And to my parents, I'm the one who didn't make anything of herself. I can still hear my father's words: "What a waste, Lauren. You are so smart. You could actually be somebody." Something we battle every day is disrespect. We get it from the kids because it comes from the parents. And look at what we make!

Steven Harper:
You know what your problem is, Lauren? You don't have any idea how powerful you are. Things you say in that classroom some of those kids are going to remember fifty years from now, even if you've forgotten by the sound of the next bell. Do you like being a teacher?

Lauren Davis:
I love it.

Steven Harper:
Then what are you complaining about?
