Hw - 49 Class Savior/Teacher Film

A lot of the super-teacher films that are made demonstrate the similar but different ways of how a teacher can make a difference in students or a student life. The brief dramatized scenario of a teacher film Esther D's film presented i felt was the total opposite. The message that I felt was built in this film was that not all teachers like the one's on Tv, make a difference.

In this film, the teacher tries and makes attempt at teaching his class about poetry, but infact none of the students actually care. The teacher struggling in his class resorts to alchohol as an answer to get him by in his class. In regular super-teacher films, the first attempt always fails, but somehow they always manage to control the class second time around. Here, that shit is going to happen anytime soon. The students don't really care, they're not motivated to learn anything about what is being taught, and it seems more realistic because how could one day of teaching inspire students who have never cared their whole lives.

The connection between salvation and education is very complex. The students who can excell in the type of education that is being taught to them perform higher than those who suffer at the same type of education being taught. That is why the teacher is held with great responsibility to be able to teach all types of students in way they could all learn. There are two types of educations, the transcendent and the Imminant. The split between these two types of education could either help or fail at teaching specific types of students. The transcendent education helps students that like to learn about things that will help them in the dominant future, and the Imminant education that helps students deal with the "now" of life. The complexity of the individual being can be easy to teach if it was a 1 on 1 basis, but teaching happens in the masses. So trying to figure out how to inspire all students that may all find a successfull way of learning in a different way; You could imagine.
