My favorite satirical take on inspirational-teacher movies is Mad TV's "Nice White Lady" skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVF-nirSq5s
But there are good ones out there, even the ones that fall into the Nice White Lady trope. I liked Dead Poets Society and One Thousand Violins. I don't remember any with teachers of color or anyone the least bit non-WASPy, come to think of it.
