MY LAST DAY IN THE KINDERGARTEN

My last day in the kindergarten was really special, so I will never forget it. I think children have a lot of fun, and they were very happy.  As they love games, we played” The Hot Potato. Moreover, I used this game to have a review because if I child lost, he or she would have to tell me a color, vowel or an animal name in English. As I had told them that there were surprises for each of them, they were very interesting in participating. The surprises consisted of small figures of animals and some candy. Even though there was a lot of happiness, I felt a little sad because I am not going to see the children anymore.  Well, I am not going to forget any of them, but especially I’m not going to forget one of the girls who used to call me seño-teacher.

1. What struck you about the movie “FRONT OF THE CLASS”?

The first thing which struck me about the movie was that Brad never gave up even though almost all the people, including his father, didn´t believe that Brad could become a good teacher.

2. What did you learn about teaching?

I learned that teaching is a big process which requires patient, polite and sympathetic teachers. Because Brad´s teachers didn´t have these requirements, he began to hate school. Brad was ashamed by their teachers many times because of his weird problem, so I learned that this is bad; therefore, I will not shame my students because of their problems. If teachers want to motivate their students, they have to promote a good environment in which all the students can be comfortable and safe and can develop all the skills that they need to succeed in their lives.

 3. What makes a god teacher?

I think that a good teacher is a person who is patient, polite, sympathetic, responsible etc. Moreover, a good teacher is someone who really loves to teach.

How would you describe brad?

He is a person who never gives up. He is a good mode to follow because he overcame many troubles to become a good teacher. Well, Brad is a humble, confident and polite man.

 4. What makes him a good teacher?

His kindness, patience and perseverance make him a good teacher. Brad is a sympathetic teacher, who tries to understand each of his students.

5. What was the most interesting seen in the movie?

 For me, the most interesting was Brad´s perseverance. Even though he was rejected by many school, he worked hard to get the job as a teacher. Then not only did he become a good teacher, but also he won a prize as the best teacher of the year in Georgia.

6. How did the movie empower future teachers?

If we want to succeed and be effective teachers, we must work hard. Besides, if we have patience, politeness and sympathy, we can become good teachers as Brad.
