In my experience, high-school teachers were 90/10 anti Wikipedia 3 years ago, and are slightly in favor of it today. This sort of thing would be a fascinating survey to run year after year.
I don't know. My evidence is all anecdotal, but the vast majority of what I hear from high school teachers about Wikipedia is playfully derogatory. Not that they're against Wikipedia, any more than they're against Twitter or MySpace, but that they don't take it as a serious source of information. "I read it on Wikipedia" is taken as about equivalent to "I read it on the Internet".
