Sunday night we had a pot luck dinner for Ed students and watched Mr. Holland's Opus. Sally gave us a list of educational messages from the movie and I liked just about all of them. Here are a few of my favorites:
A great lesson can be rowdy and fun.
A teacher has 2 jobs: to fill the students' minds with knowledge and to give those minds a compass so that the knowledge doesn't go to waste.
I will use anything if it will help me to teach a student.
One who can't teach a willing kid to learn something is a lousy teacher.
The most important teacher your child will ever have is you (the parent).
Teachers touch lives.
If you teach and ever get frustrated or think you aren't appreciated, watch the last 10 minutes of this movie; it will make you happy.
