My favorite part of the course this semester was when we watched and discussed To Sir with Love. I enjoyed watching that dynamic between Sir and his students, because its not one that I’ve seen often.  Sir taught his students how to be functioning members of society. He connected with them on a personal level and I feel as if that connection made his lessons more impactful.  It didn’t seem like Sir was shoving information down their throats, it was more like a conversation. Instead of teachings students to pass , he taught students what was to be expected of them as young adults. Even though in the beginning of the movie teaching wasn’t a passion of his, Sir seemed to be passionate about helping his students grow. Educators should be more aware of their impact on their students. They have the power to shape the future of so many young people and in my experience many of them don’t take advantage of that.  I understand that there a specific curriculum that teachers are sometimes expected to follow but I believe it would be in the best interest of all parties involved, if the lessons were somehow made more relatable.  speaking as someone who sometimes struggles with the stress of schools expectations, I strongly believe that if educators were held to same standards that Sir displayed, students would gain much more from formal education.
