Explain the story in short
The
story tells about a teacher who leaves his stable life teaching at an
elementary school in his suburban North Carolina hometown, the school where
he is appreciated by both his fellow teachers and his students for his
innovative teaching methods which results in raising test scores. Instead, he
decides to look for a teaching job at a tough New York inner city school
where he feels he can be more useful. Clark is drawn to an unruly class of
sixth graders, the same one the teacher who quit had taught. He's told that
these students are the worst in the school and test at the bottom in
standardized test scores. He teaches with inovative and creative methods,
although at first all students don’t like him. Clark's students have
difficult family lives. One child is in foster care and gets abused by his
foster parent. Another child is the de-facto mom to her younger siblings, as
her mother works two jobs. The children have bigger problems than not knowing
grammar, and their problems may disturb more sensitive kids or kids who have
been in similar situations.Then, Mr. Tuner, The principal doesn’t like
Clark’s teaching methods. He said “My school, my rules, my way”. He wants Mr.
Clark just focus on the national exam and make the students from lowest class
pass the exam. The kids disobey Mr. Clark, vandalize his classroom, bully
other kids, gamble, and bet on when Clark will quit. But the students
eventually learn to treat Clark and themselves differently. They learn to
believe in their academic abilities and to dream big.
In the class he tries to make the rule
for his students. He almost gives up because his students hard to arrange but
Marissa give him spirits. So, he back to teach again. Then, the students
begin to like him.
One day he gets pneumonia but he decides to
teach by video record. After back to the class, the student’s progressive go
down. Clark thinks he was failed but he remains optimistic about their
chance. After examination, Mr. Clark takes his student to see The Phantom of
the Opera. Then, his class become the best class and his students got a
higher score than any other class in final examination and Mr. Clark was
regarded by his student as their best teacher.
Describe the reason
Student of teacher’s
trainning
This
movie is good for those who is student of teacher’s training. The reason is
because the movie give us the knowledge about how to survive in the worst
class with the unruly students, give us inspiration about creative teaching’s
methods, how to encourage students to dream big and take a risk and the way we have to know well our
students and their problems personally because the students are our family. I mean, As a teacher we have to know the
things above well and we not only oriented in high score and graduation of
students.
This
will inform the way I think about teaching as I move forward because I wish
to be an innovative educator, and I am always thinking about how my students
will engage in certain materials. Ron Clark’s story inpires me to continue to
believe in the power of building community, and it shows that all of the hard
work and time teacher’s put in problem solving and creating lessons can and
will pay off in the long run. Then, Ron Clark inspires us to be a creative
teacher and give attention to our students. Ron Clark gives us hint and
practical strategies to keep children excited about learning and
motivated to be their best, such as make a rap for remember the President of
USA.
Spectator’s perspective
The
movie inspire the people to know how difficult to be teacher. The teacher not
only teach them but also has a role like second parents. They have to guide
the students if they do something wrong and give them spirits when they about
to give up and so on. The parents also has important role in student’s life.
Their support and care is pretty important to make the students good in their
school life. So, a condusive environmental is necessary for students. That is
why eventhough the people is not teacher, they have to create good
environmental and be good example for students.
Then the movie give the people one of the
dedicate teacher description and of course there are countless teachers who
work harder than this guy and achieve more realistic results. No one will
ever make a movie about them, and if they did, it would be a thousand times
better than that one. To all of you who make a difference every day despite
ever obstacle possible, you are our Ron Clarks.

The film represents the school as a
typical urban school with students tearing up paper, being unruly, talking
while the teacher is talking, and administrators assuming students are low
performing or special needs. The students in this movie are a mixture of
African American, Latino, and Indian. It also showcases a principal who only
cares about getting high test scores, and not really considering what
students can really do. Then, another issue is the students have
difficult family lives. One child is in foster care and gets abused by his
foster parent. Another child is the de-facto mom to her younger siblings, as
her mother works two jobs. The children have bigger problems than not knowing
grammar, and their problems may disturb more sensitive kids or kids who have
been in similar situations.
