Should talent be buried?

I spent most of the movie in WTF. The original intention of teachers must be good, hoping that gifted children can be valued and their talents will not be wiped out. But she chose all the wrong ways. Say the little boy's poems as his own, and take the little boy to various places without the consent of the little boy's parents. In the end, she must not want to really harm the little boy. It's just that, for her unfulfilled dreams, she imposed the hope of her own life on the little boy.

There are really many themes about child prodigies. Whether talent should be buried is also an eternal topic of discussion. There is no doubt that talent should not be buried. But isn't it bad to have no talent? How can talent be discovered and polished to sparkle? Does the world we live in really allow for talent? Contrary to the various wrong operations in the film, these are real issues that are worth thinking about.

The Kindergarten Teacher quotes

  • Jimmy Roy: The bull stood alone in the backyard. So dark. I opened the door and stepped out. Wind in the branches. He watched me, Blue eyes. He kept breathing to stay alive. I didn't want him. I was just a boy. Say yes, Say yes, anyway.

  • Lisa Spinelli: Talent is so fragile and so rare. And our culture does everything to crush it. I mean even at four or five, they're coming into school attached to their phones, talking only about TV shows and video games. It's a materialistic culture, and it doesn't support art, or language, or observation. Even my own children, who are great, they don't read. You know, you think maybe it's just a phase. But I worry that it's something larger. A lack of curiosity. A lack of reflection. No one has space for poetry.
