Rock School is a 2005 documentary film directed and produced by Don Argott.

The documentary exhibits The Paul Green School of Rock Music through the eyes of its founder, Paul Green.[1] A New York Magazine film critic said "Paul Green is letting his students in on a secret of life that goes beyond school, even stuff that looks easy is hard to do well". The film displays him showing off his wide variety of teaching tactics and also how the school affects the lives of the students that attend. Paul Green is seen several times jumping up and down, screaming at kids, and kicking students, all in order to teach them. As Ken Tucker, the NPR rock critic, says, it "I'd hand out DVDs of Rock School to everyone in the country with a teaching degree and dare them to match this level of commitment."[2]
