About a Teacher

As a soon-to-be teacher this movie was AWESOME to watch. It shows the struggles of the first few years of teaching but how rewarding it is.

I LOVED THIS FILM. This film speaks volumes to the time, effort, and dedication it takes to make your splash in education. I truly wish everyone, parents, students, admin, politicians, etc. would watch this film to understand what teachers go through and all the work they put into to be the best they can be. The main character perfectly captures the stress and frustration of the first few years of being a teacher and trying to find your way, but the movie itself captures the amazing stories of students, teacher relationships with teachers, students, significant others, and I just love how it truly captures it all!!!

Great film! Really shows how hard teachers work and the emotional journey they experience with students. I look forward to my future career as I know it will be challenging but worth it.

Did a great job of depicting the day-to-day of an NYC DOE teacher during the first few years! I related to this movie on so many levels, and it was hilarious. Highly recommend it!

This was an excellent film! As someone that is about to embark on the profession, it gave insight to what this profession entails. It is a great representation of what this life is going to be like and how immersed we will be become as teachers with our students and the rigor that comes with the job. The great underlying message is to never give up. No matter how difficult it is in the beginning don't quit. As Mr. Harchol told us, "It does get better." This is a film I will watch again and probably a few more times after that. It is also an important film for current teachers so they can reflect on how different things are going now as opposed to when their career first started.
