CHALK...The Movie

For the past two Monday nights, we have been viewing the movie "Chalk".
It is set up like a documentary, following the teachers of a high school.

It was a comedy, and they did a great job with it. I laughed a lot because of the sarcasm. But the most funny and sad element about the movie was the reality of it all. Some teachers really don't want to be teachers, and don't know what they are doing. Some teachers only care about nagging on their co-workers. Most teachers talk behind each others backs, and many teachers buddy up with the kids just to look cool.

The movie reminded me that teachers are real people too. It also made me excited to be in a school, as a teacher and not a student. The dynamic levels are completely different and I think it will be a lot of fun to experience.
