      teacher and friend

      - The film "Yes and You" analyzes

      that "Yes" and "Have" are actually very basic verbs, which are the simplest in grammar, so they also symbolize the enlightenment of learning. The documentary records a story between teachers and students: in a remote village in France, there is an elementary school with only one class, one teacher and several children of different ages. George, the only teacher in the village, has sent away batch after batch of students over the past 20 years. In...

      Companionship and guidance are the best lower grade education.

      1 No commentary. If you don't have any background introduction and commentary, you will not understand the story at first, and don't know what this documentary wants to record? Is it a social experiment? Or a charity school? Where is this school in France, what are the characteristics of this group of children, and what special teaching method does this teacher have? Education softly?

      2 What I can feel at the moment is that these children are...

      Review of To Be and To Have

      Comarts 135 31 March 2012 The wind blows strongly, whistling through the tall pines with countless snows whirling in the air. Under the pale hazy sky, wandering cows are driven by men and women in thick winter coats. Once inside, through the clear window, you see the cold, severe snowstorm. Different from the atrocious outside, inside the classroom, there is a safe, warm and peaceful world. Yellow chairs have been lifted up orderly on the tables; One turtle crawls along...

      Only one class of life

      A few days ago, I watched a series of programs filmed by a domestic TV station. Basically, the children in the city and the children in the mountains have a short-term exchange to achieve the purpose of education. Aside from the content of the program, almost all schools in the mountains are one class, one or two teachers teach, and a group of children of different ages learn the same or different things from the same or different books.

      This documentary also tells the story of a...

      1. Teaching and educating people, this can be called educating people. 2. Learning is good, learning is a benefit. 3. Children look at you with big eyes. Is there a more dynamic career than this? It looks like I want to be a...

      Barely pass. Stratified classes for French village teachers. Most of the content is actually useless. Among the two extra children filmed, the boy showed an aggressive sense of leadership in the adjustment scene, and the filming was good. In addition, the bondage of rural cattle farms and teaching children not to use their hands is actually a suspicious evil in human society, but it has not been discussed. There is a promotion at the end. The teachers who are about to retire and the children...

      http:t.cn/S2RWqr A group of children from 4 to 11 years old in a classroom, a dedicated teacher, constitutes this shocking documentary without narration. Best Documentary Award for European Films, a high-grossing French documentary. I have always believed that a great film starts from those seemingly insignificant details, and I have always believed that the process of children learning subtraction is an epic film material - director Nicola Ferribel "Yes and...
