The movie “To sir, With Love” entails the story of an engineer named Mark Thackeray who is given the job to teach undisciplined class at a school. Although, he has a period of being  a teacher, he doesn’t look to stay for long because he is hoping  to obtain an engineering job in the near future. The movie portrays many themes including the idea of education and discipline.
In the movie, it is shown that the class that the Mark teaches is a roudy, disrespectful, and careless. Initially, none of the students value their education and act as if they were kids. The teacher Mr.Thackerary tries to discipline the students at first, however none of them seem to comply. The teacher remains quite patient with the students until he finally flips out after the girls in the class attempt a ‘disguting prank.’
The story begins to develop as the students realize that they are dealing a a teacher who is serious about his students and education. The theme of becoming adults was portrayed really well in the movie. I really thought the transition of the students becoming adults was great. The teacher begins to teach students based on what they want to learn about and takes them on various trips. It was also interesting to see the students begin to take things seriously in class.
In my opinion, just watching a ‘black’ teacher teach a bunch of white students to become resptful adults was just fantastic. The movie taught many lesson about the ideas of race and education. Mark Thackery was black,  well educated, and was able to lead a class to become successful. Not only, did Mr. Thackery change the lives of many students, he decided not to go on his engineering route, and continued to teach students. That was really a heartfelt moment and put a huge smile on my fac.e
