After watching this movie, apart from excitement and touch, I can’t help thinking--
Can a teacher change a child or even a group of children on his own without the support of the school and parents?
The protagonist Clark came to a backward town like New York and took over the worst class in a terrible black school. The morals and quality of the students in it were extremely poor. In order to let these children start learning and fall in love with learning, Clark has adopted many very wise methods: first visit the students one by one to seek parental support (failed); repaint the classroom to create a good learning environment (failed) Emphasize that the class is the family, shape the cohesion of the class (failed); establish basic class rules, require students to be polite and quiet (failed); encourage and care for every student in the class (failed); participate in students' extracurricular activities , To get closer with them (failed)... The turning point was "self-sacrifice", which aroused students' interest through crazy drinking milk in class, which became the beginning of class quietness. In the following months, he also devoted himself to education in this way. He tried his best to make students interested in learning. He even compiled history into raps for students to sing and play cards with students to enhance his interest in mathematics. The students concentrated on studying and even went to her home to cook for her...Tell them "You can do anything you want to do" "You are not losers" time and time again every day. In the end, this class actually got the highest in the whole section. Fraction.
Among them, Clark's teaching method that integrates learning and entertainment is worth learning, and his spirit of devoting everything to his students is also impressive.
Clark is such a super paying teacher, but it is really a rare talent. He is a benchmark and tells us that teachers can actually be so great. As a middle school teacher, we are often discouraged by failure in the workplace and feel how small we are, but this movie can inspire our initial ideals of education.
I can't say "no" to my initial question with certainty, because different educational environments have different educational characteristics. Perhaps in an environment like the United States, there is a real probability of success. Clark's ultimate success is inseparable from his hard work day and night, what kind of sadness and tears are behind such a single force. This film corrected my original idea of being too realistic. Under the background of Chinese education, I can live with the crowd. It seems that I can't change anything. But if I try to challenge and innovate, will there be unexpected results like in the movie?
