The New Public

I watched this documentary for one of my college education classes and I was amazed by every moment of it. The stories of the students, parents. and educators all coming together to ensure success was amazing. I recommend this to anyone interested in our education system, humanities, etc. I felt as though I had known these students, teachers, and parents all my life because their stories are stories of countless others who find themselves in the same position. As a future educator, I learned (while watching this documentary) that students crave a trusting relationship with their teachers and principals. Once the educator is able to prove to the student that said students can trust them and that they will be there to support the student. it makes it easier for the student to perform better in school, as well as make connections with other adults and authority figures in their lives. I also learned, through observation, that it takes a lot of patience and a genuine care for kids to work in the educational field. If you don't have patience and a care for kids, please find another job.
