Its snack hour.. Yes, it’s movie time once again. Lean On Me is a touching movie indeed. This movie is about a Principal(Morgan Freeman) makes changes to his school because the school is at risk of being taken over by the New Jersey state government unless students improve their test scores. Morgan was a teacher in that school but let it because different in idea between him and school authorities.
The first “changes” he does was by chasing out all the “bad” boys from the school, especially who sells drugs and in gangs. The teachers have no control over the students. The teachers were beaten up by the students. The teachers scared of the students. If I am posted for this kind of schools, what should I do? This is what came to my mind when watching this movie. Would I quit or keep trying?
Morgan portrays himself as a strict principal, whereby he sacked all the teachers who against his ideas. We may think that he is too arrogant and bossy type of principal but for an immediate change in that school he has to come up with this kind of rules. People must know who is in charge in that school.
As a future teacher, what I want is that students respect me as a figure of trust just like the ending of the story. This movie showed me that being a teacher is not an easy job, but it is a heavy work to mold the students as there are many types of challenges. Principals need to ‘move’ the school higher each year so that the parents will trust the school and send their children to gain education. The future generation is out responsibility.
