Chalk Part 2

The second half of Chalk i thought was much more like a real school setting. It Displayed the growth of teachers. It shows one thing that all educators need to learn and that is what Mr. Lowery did. With it being his first year as a teacher he was doing a lot of experimenting and trying things out to feel his way into the class room. By the end of the year he developed a good flow and connection with the students, which resulted in a positive result on his teaching. The assistant principle might have found out that being an assistant principle is not what she wants to do. When she had to fill in for teachers on specific days she even said those were her best days being in the classroom and around the students. I have gathered that being a teacher you learn about as much or more then what you are actually teaching. You learn a lot about yourself and what kind of effect you have students and your co-workers. That is why I feel it is very important to find your niche in school as a teacher. As for the teacher with the biggest ego problem I have seen, he needs to be put into a situation where he cant be everyone's friend. He does speak about the line between teacher and student but I have come to believe that he doesn't follow it. As I talked about in part one of chalk I think that the movie shows a lot of weird situations, that can be translated into everyday real life situations that occur in schools everyday. As a teacher you need to find what works for you and what teaching tools are successful and what aren't.
