American Teacher

When I started watching this movie I was wondering if it was ever going to get happy! It was one depressing thing after another but then it picked up at the end. After the movie though I did have a different view on this profession, not necessarily bad or good. I've known that going into this job it wouldn't be easy but I never really thought about ALL of the different inconveniences it would bring. If anything I think that it only made me more aware of what I will have to deal with.

One of the biggest frustrations that in the movie and that you hear from all teachers is the pay. Teachers work so hard and put so much time and their own money into their class and get very low pay in return.

The districts could make teaching easier or at least help it to be easier by giving more time for planning so that teachers wouldn't have to work through their lunch. Another thing that would help without increasing pay would be to provide more supplies in the classroom so that teachers don't have to go out and use their own money to buy things to be a better teacher.

I understood the movie for the most part and don't have any questions that I would like to address at this time, thank you.
