A Teacher for ALL Times: The Ron Clark Story

Last night after my nightly broadcast, I went into the kitchen to prepare something to eat and my wife had a movie running on TV that drew me in – and THAT is rare.

I stayed glued to that television for the entire film. From the very beginning – something spoke to me – and if you watch it – it will draw you in as well. As one viewer on You Tube stated, “What a beautiful inspiring movie. I wish all teachers were more like him in this world. I pray many educators are inspired to do/be better after watching this movie.” ~ Editor

“Ron Clark was indeed ‘the white tornado ‘ of inspiration that Harlem Elementary kids needed. He saw their potential & would never give up on them, where others had.”

…and from Adrian: “One of the most difficult and least paid jobs. And all to benefit children an opportunity to develop their skills for the rest of their lives. If only the children and parents respected and understand that the future lies in the hands of themselves.”

…and finally from Laura: What a great movie. All children and parents should be inspired by this true story. It goes to show that when a teacher truly cares about his students not only will the children notice he will earn their respect. No matter what street, what city or nationality you are that if you work hard you can do anything. It doesn’t matter where you came from or how much money the parents have. These parents of these students most likely work more than one job and in doing this just to put food on the table is all the love a child needs. Children want to have a voice but sometimes you have to break through that tough exterior to see who that person is on the inside. A good solid teacher that loves what he or she does can turn a failing child into a passing one.
