THE CLASS

The movie, talks about the life of the teacher who tried to manage his students with all his effort. But all of his sweat in instructing his student is not that adequate that his students were not believed on him even to listened on his discussion. His students have a different culture, behavior, values and belief. It is a challenge to him on how to handle his students with different capacity, ability, and with social differences due to the different environment they are grown up.

As I witnessed the movie is a challenged for me to think of strategies in which suited to the individual differences of my class. I will not be like Mr. Francis Marin, who are just take easy on his class and never let himself to be strict for his student to believe on him and will respect him as their teacher and with a person with profession. I will try to discipline the students so they will be matured, because in the movie the students even they are in the legal age they don’t even know even to discipline their self and to inculcate into their mind the value of respect so the other will respect to them also. Education for me is not more in academic but also with values, personality development in public relation. Educated for me is different from professionalism and I will introduce it further to my class so that they will graduate with academic learning and with developed values into their life.

Back to the story, it tells us how to be responsible. As a teacher it is our duty to educate our students not just on how to pronounce the word appropriately, to add the numbers, or on how to properly handle the computer, but also to introduce to them the value of disciplined in which reflect to our own personality. To be effective teacher it is better to be accompanied with a word, “good teacher”. It is our privilege to the teachers if their students learned from them.

Therefore, the movie is the lesson for us to be learned as the teacher-learner to educate our students that education is better if it is supplemented with good values.
