“You can’t have a great school without great teachers” is a beautiful quote mentioned in the film. Although government officials have sought out to reform education by providing funds or special programs, the real problem is finding effective and passionate teachers who truly seek to make a difference in the world by giving the gift of knowledge. If the system can effectively evaluate its teachers worldwide, and rid of teachers who are not doing an adequate job or benefitting the…
It showed me how our education system worked and how it is controlled. I would also recommend it to someone that is wanting to be a teacher in the near future. This movie will show them the other side of education. The side were teachers are blamed for student success rates and how hard it is to become a good teacher. I feel like teachers have a good concept on why they want to become a teacher but they don’t really know what it takes. If this movie can open my eyes to our educational world then I am sure it can do the same to anyone that watches…
Most importantly the movie teaches one on the know-how skill of leadership, when to take charge in any situation one may be in and the effective decisions of taking charge of being a good…
My thought on why we watched this film in class in class is because that it shows one’s ability to delay gratification in order to receive a greater reward. It applies to human adjustment because a person’s ability to be patient and patience is important to be able to cope with stress in life.…
I had seen this movie once in 2012. But after I attended this class, I decided to watch it again because there are four elements in the movie that are related to what we are learning: disability, ethnicity, class, and culture differences. After watching the movie, I gained more understanding due to what we had learned in class.…
It is upsetting to see the frustration teachers feel while schooling students that come from low waged household. In the film, teachers feel less obligated to teach students. All this careless behavior is also the consequence of a bad educational system that fails to not only the students but teachers as well. It comes down to explain the phenomenon and the reinsurance of social reproduction in our "open" American society.…
The film serves as an eye-opener that things change in time. There will be a different set and a brand new style of living. Living with cultural conflict might be negative for people, but people must also know that they could can also use this as their advantage to prove that people are able to adapt different cultures no matter where you come from. Undeniably a film that contains lots of lessons. A movie to…
The movie has a great story. It is about friendship, family, and students. It is important to have true friends that will be on your side whatever happens. Someone you can count on even the situation is hard. Someone who will help you to be a good person, someone who will make you realize that you are important, special and worth of everything, someone whom you can show who you really are as a person. In every family it is important to know what everyone wants. We need to open everything. We should support what everyone wants and appreciate their passion in life. Whatever is given to us is a gift to be treasured. As a student it is our responsibility to strive hard to be able to have a good job for our future. It is important to know how our parents do everything just to send us to school and have everything. In everything that we do we should learn to look on the advantages and disadvantages of it.…
This movie portrayed two types of teachers which are a professional teacher and a non-professional teacher. Parallel with my previous personal journal entry 1, I would like to add on the characteristics of non-professional and professional teachers portrayed in this movie. First and foremost, based on the picture given, Ishaan’s English teacher is an example of a non- professional teacher. It is because instead of asking Ishaan to pay attention and read the reading text given in a polite manner, she preferred to scold him by using…
The movie was quite not new to me since I’ve watched it several times when I was still in high school during our overnight. But I must admit that the impact of this movie to me has never changed from the moment that I personally have watched it. It was a very realistic movie that touched my heart all over again. Indeed, when we are young we really are curious about things and would actually see for ourselves on something. Mr. Keating, the teacher encourages his students to take chances and think outside the box. He is an ideal teacher to me because his purpose of being a teacher is not just to teach them the concepts but to teach them something that could be use for their future. He inspires his students to explore new things for it is indeed in doing so that you get to explore yourself and know your capacities & limitations. Mr. Keating reminds me a lot of my math teacher way back in high school. He is also a very comic but a strict man. Since, I am really poor in math I really refused studying the subject. But when I met this teacher, my outlook towards the subject has changed. He made me realize that if you want to achieve something, you have to do everything that you can so that at the end even if you succeed or fail, you can proudly say that you did your best despite of and you’ll have no regrets. Also, he made me realize that grades are really not what matters most but what you have learned. We have to do our best in every thing that we do all for God’s greater glory. The movie is very suitable for us, teenagers since we are in the stage in finding out who we really are, what we really want and who we want to be. The movie encourages us to be the students who aren’t afraid of taking risks but at the same time with every action that we do we are responsible for it. Comes with the great power to choose for ourselves is also the great responsibility to act accordingly for the betterment of the…
The film inspires me a lot; the main characters have motivated me, most especially the guy named, “Rancho”. Despite of all the struggles he had to face, he didn’t forget to enjoy the journey of life. He can balance his studies together with his friends and love life.…
God is so good on all of us. He never fails to guide us and give us situations that we cannot overcome. People are just so scared on facing what’s on the certainty of life. Being with your family and loved ones, and above all trusting God, we will succeed in our lives and overlook the entire necessary struggle that we had. Learning on this film, helps me to understand well; what is life. What is life without God; but to trust Him and loving other people is the greatest way to achieve on a triumphant…
The incidents involving the teacher-student interactions depicted in this movie are so relevant in today’s times when you get to see and hear on television at regular intervals innovative punishments like electric shocks being doled out to students. There are particularly heart rending moments like the whole initial boarding school sequence – set to the song “Tujhe Sab To Pata Hai Na Maa” which covey the unspoken emotions of a child separated from his mother when he most needs her. It’s been a long time since I had tears in my eyes (for the right reasons) when watching a film – No emotional manipulation here thankfully!…
Throughout the course of this semester, I have learned a lot about Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher. Microsoft Word is a word processor, designed by Microsoft, which allows you to create, edit, format, and save documents. Microsoft Publisher…
When the movie was about to start, I felt boring because some of my classmates said to me that this movie we are watching is a drama story. In my life I hate watching drama stories because it is boring. As the movie goes by, I felt sleepy and bored because I can’t relate to the story. But when the 11 year old boy goes to school and answers the question of his professor, I can relate few scenes there because I am also a student like him. And when the professor assigned an assignment to his student, the assignment was entitled “Think of an idea to change the world and put it into action”, I relate it into my life, I also think of an idea and the idea I think is by not throwing garbage in the rivers, sea, lake, etc. because it can pollute our bodies of water. I am also touched when the 11year old boy (Trevor) can do household chores all by himself. And also when he helps the beggar man in the street and feed it in their house. I am also inspired by his mom because she was trying to work hard in the club just to make her son’s life good and just to make her son go to school. I was also inspired when Trevor also want to change the beggar’s life, first he failed to convinced him but he never give up. And when he also tried to convinced his Mom and his teacher to have a dinner date together, and also first he was failed to convince the two but he never give up. On that scenes I learned a lot of lessons, lessons that are important in our daily living in this world. It is important to never give up because you cannot reach your dreams in life when you give up. I learn also in that scene to try and try until you succeed. I also got angry to his step father when he arrived at home and had a debate in his mother. And I also got angry to those who are bullying to his friend and to him. I also got shocked when he got stab by a knife with his enemy by saving his friend from bullying. And I felt so very emotional when he died.…
