This article helps me see that even if teachers are only around for one year like in the movie, they can effect a student for a life time.http://www.welcomebooks.com/americanteacher/

Stand by Me
The movie Stand By Me for me is all about the idea that education can influence you and make you a stronger, better person. The teacher in this movie is portrayed as a hero which is very different then how we portray teachers today. He saved some of the students and helped them do good on the test but also in their lives. To me that is what the movie is about, even if Mr. Glassman challenged our thoughts of what happened to these students after the test. The movie has significance to me because I feel like this is what kind of teacher I want to be even if I don't believe that stressing testing is the answer. The students are going to have a better life because a new found confidence has been installed inside of them.

I was influenced by this movie as well. Seeing a teacher make a difference in these kids lives is the purpose of being an educator, in my eyes that is. I want to be able to be the best teacher I can be and I know in order to do that I am going to need to be able to connect with my students in order to have a positive outcome like the movie showed.
