 Lifts Me Up Every Time! October 5, 2008
As a second year teacher, I am often exhausted and discouraged by what I see in schools. I watch this movie whenever I need a pick-me-up and it reminds me that we all struggle at times in teaching, but that what we truly want (better lives for our students) we can still achieve through hard work and dedication. It reminds me why I entered the teaching career and encourages me to keep going and to never give up. I have read The Essential 55: An Award-winning Educator's Rules for Discoveri the Successful Student in Every Child after seeing this movie for the first time, and it gave me so many ideas for my own classroom. Whether you are a new teacher, or a veteran, if you need encouragement and a reminder why you got into the profession, Ron Clark will show you exactly why.
It is wonderful expirience October 1, 2008
It is a wonderful expirience to watch it. Giving advice at education (that is my main goal ) to all children rich and poor have the same right to a good education. It helps and motivates to reach that goal.
Excellent! September 29, 2008
This is an excellent film, especially for beginning or aspiring teachers. It highlights some of the real challenges in the classroom and some ways to grapple with those challenges. Although it should not be taken as an unquestionned prescription, it shows how important it is for teachers to connect with their students and the kind of indelible positive mark that can be made in all their lives. Real and warming!!

the Ron Clark story August 3, 2008
There aren't enough stars to put next to this movie, once again to see that someone would give up his life for other lives is something I live to see, I love that people care so much for others, it is a movie that will make you cry and see life as it really is.
I read recently that Ron Clark just took a bunch of kids I think it was to Europe or around the world, it was a dream of his, what an amazing human being. People should read and learn.
 Teacher Tale August 2, 2008
"The Ron Clark Story" is exactly what it says: Ron Clark's story. Like "Mr. Holland's Opus", this is based ona true story of a teacher determined to make a difference. Ron Clark is in the inner city, where kids act tough and stubborn, and often get into trouble. Ron was told not to expect much. But his determination to hang on and somehow inspire these kids won out in the end...to the surprise of the other teachers and the principal.
Rather predictable storyline, but it's inspiring.
If you enjoyed "Mr Holland's Opus", chances are that you would also enjoy the "Ron Clark Story". It's an any-age movie.... young, old, or in-between... anyone who needs a reminder that one person can make a difference in the lives of many!
