" “The class”

Teaching is not just only a profession, but it is also a vocation to help those people who did not know how to read and write. Teachers have a big role in our society. Without them educational institutions did not exist. Teachers who are the constructors and facilitators of learning are challenged to identify what are the essentials and not essentials in the curriculum, what is relevant and not relevant so that the students get what is needed for them to become productive members of their own community. But, who will be too blamed if the students learned nothing from the class? The parents, the teachers, or the students itself?

The movie entitled “The Class” challenged all the teachers to have an advanced planning in the application of different strategies, techniques, and approaches. Parents are the most responsible to guide their children, because education starts at home. Hence then, we can never blame those parents especially they are in lower level of attainment. Students, it is their duty and responsibility to become aware to their lesson. They must have to apply critical thinking in order for them to learn. Teachers are considered as a surrogate parent, an instructor, and a manager. Teacher’s performance is then measured in terms of their delivery of the good services and high achievements results of their students.

Handling a class with different race and culture is not an easy task. They have different beliefs, opinions and views. As what I have seen the movie there will be a crucial discrimination among the students. Teachers may have this kind of class requires great patience and temperance. But before the teacher introduced the topic, the first thing to do is to apply classroom management and impose discipline. I think Mr. Marin did not apply that strategy and maybe he may lack of techniques in teaching. If I were Mr. Marin I focused those students who are in lower level especially those who are pity one. Motivate them to become more successful in life. I always teach to my students, Education is not just only about knowledge it is also about behavior. For them to realized no matter what religion and race they may came from, respecting  to everybody is very important.
