I have to say, this was a really frustrating and disappointing reaction, especially from teachers. Yes it's over dramatised, but it just came across like two sarcastic teachers, who've not really had to deal with extremely tough kids/schools sitting and bitching over a beer. Hardly any attempt to empathise or understand what the kids needed. Yes, he wasn't perfect and his methods were far from ideal. But it was it was of its time in the 80's and it took steps one at a time, like having a sense of belonging, etc. The bit after he praised the change in the school song and you called it Stockholm syndrome and said he was like a terrorist really annoyed me. There was a change, the kids didn't believe in themselves, like no one cared for them, expected anything of themselves. He stood up to those others were not, showed them what was acceptable. Tbh, I think this reaction just made teachers come across badly.

I agree with you that he did some things wrong, very wrong, but I would like you to have acknowledged the way he learned from his mistakes, like he did after the vice principal confronted him and when he admitted that Mr. Darnell was right in saying he shouldn't have fired him. I would also consider the context. Business as usual wasn't working, and changing it was going to take not just a lot of hard work but also a lot of risk. I'd love to see someone who could come in and make transformative change while also being empathetic and sensitive and meeting everyone's needs all the way, but if we found such a person I'm not sure we could replicate that very much. I am a high school teacher, and we have choices, so if I found a principal like that offensive or abusive, I could leave and probably find a position at another school. (And I would think carefully before I did--plenty of schools have kinder, gentler administrations who can't keep order, and people end up suffering at least as much as the people who suffered at Clark's hands.) The children don't have that choice. Most of what Clark did that was wrong was against the teachers. To the extent that the film is accurate, most of what he did for the students was positive.

I was intrigued by teachers reacting to a film about teaching. But you two made this a non-stop gabfest. There wasn't a moment in the movie that you two weren't laughing and talking over the film. Your good nature is appealing if it didn’t overwhelm the movie.

That song and movie (To Sir With Love) has had as very special place in my life, while I’m not a teacher, both my parents are, and one of them even ended up being my teacher on 3rd, 5th and 6th grade, so I think a had a special privilege to see first hand how hard a teacher job can be a times, (from both sides of the curtain), and the impact and difference a person in that position can make on a kid or teen when both sides meet on common ground.
@zalaathrun2011 күн бұрын
The flick is very similar to movies like “Dangerous Minds” and “Stand & Deliver”, with that history of troubled kids that are given and opportunity that were never before until meeting a new teacher that even though while with problems get to them at first both sides start to grow closer to each other, by respecting both ways, and talk down to the kids without putting them down, but being honest with them making them realized no matter how they are in the school the real world is gonna hit them hard and to the ground if they do not get ready better themselves. Like in Sister Act II (a similar movie to these ones) “If you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention.”

i have watched this movie dozens of times and never thought of it as any type of harassment. as a female, i think that harassment shit is going bit too far. theres a difference between harassing and flirting/shooting (your) shot. and usually with REAL harassment, you can tell the women is uncomfortable which you dont see from her at all during this entirety of this film . but yeah the American school system here sucks to hell n back. outside of academics schools only care about sports. the music and arts programs are also the first to get budget cuts/gotten rid of. i honestly loved the lesson with the diagram. he was engaging the students and using analogies that they could understand better. he even got the quiet kid to actually participate. i loved when my teachers had an interactive lesson, even if i always had difficulties with the subject and dreaded the class, if they made the lesson fun to learn, it was easier to grasp finally, there was a lot of talking over certain scenes that were important to understand the progression of the plot points.

Ok, glad i read the comments early on, to find out if the incessant talkin was gonna be throughout the entire "reaction", which, can it even be called a reaction if youre too busy stroking each others egos n what ever else, to even pay attention to the movie in the first place??? EPIC FAIL. People dont come to reactions to watch people who refuse to even actually watch the video, shit on it the whole way thru... the irony of two self proclaimed teachers epicly failing at simply watching n reacting to a movie about students in a school being taught n helped to turn their lives around, is just off the charts absurdity on a whole other level!!!! If youre not even gonna bother to try to be decent at something, why even bother at all??? I sincerely hope your horrible attitudes n dismissal of literally every student, teacher, moment, isnt how you go about in your schools with your students... this world n its kids do NOT need more teachers like yall, phoning it in, doin the bare minimum to collect checks... they need more like the nuns/teachers in this movie, pouring their hearts n souls into their students!!! Do better, guys, geez...

I never had a teacher like this but i did have a teacher who actually taught us stuff. He would tell stories about how the school sucks and how some of the teachers he hates and he was REAL. Sooo real. But he also taught us that these things lead into real world situations and problems. We did homework but most of the class was him talking to us about LIFE. Not just whatever the school wanted us to know. He was the best teacher i ever had and we need a teacher like that in ever school.

OMG you two clearly don't know much about schools in the US. 1) Teachers can absolutely kick students out and do it all the time. 2) there are massive areas in cities across the country where there aren't public schools and private parochial schools fill those deserts. 3) they're always changing the curriculum in US districts and it really does seem like there's "new math" being taught every five years. 4) Many Catholic schools require nuns and habits, but its different everywhere. The four Catholic high schools in my city were VERY different. My school didn't have those requirements, but we did have the weird stuff that you two seem to think only exist in sets. We had our music room in a former gym located on the sixth level of our school. There were classrooms buried in the basement with no finishes like that, and we had weird ramps all over because half of our building was four levels and built in a different area where the ceiling heights were different so every hallway had random steps and ramps in the middle. Also, we had those newspaper boxes on our streets until 2010. This movie wasn't supposed to be realistic, it was supposed to be fun...but it was far more realistic that the two of you seem to think.

I have an aunt that's a Catholic nun! She's been a 3rd-grade teacher for nearly 50 years! She has worked extremely hard all of these years and deserves more respect than what the two of you were dishing out! Not all Catholic schools have teachers who aren't nuns. It depends on the convent and the church. I really didn't appreciate the two of you rattling off insults, especially about nuns, when you really had no idea what you were talking about! I, myself am a musician and singer and have 7 relatives that are music teachers of all different grades and ages. It's not a job, it's a passion. I didn't see any evidence of that with you two. I feel sorry for your students who miss out on having a teacher who cares about them and their education. You didn't pay enough attention to the movie to even know what you were making fun of! Your reaction is the worst I've ever seen! You won't be getting any other views from me!
