About a Teacher

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!!!

An inspiring and realistic film about the trials and tribulations of a NYC school teacher. Very well-done and an interesting watch.

I feel that this was a great realization of what many new teachers face . Great job

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.

I was a teacher for 2 years. This movie showed perfectly what the classroom is like. It's a zoo!!! The kids are terrible! I almost got ptsd.
