The Ron Clark Story

Decent Essays

“The Ron Clark Story” is such an inspirational movie in my opinion. I feel that this movie shows what dedication in teaching is all about. It shows that teachers care and have chosen their career in order to make a difference. Ron Clark was an outstanding teacher who was said to be able to raise test scores in any school he taught at. However, instead of choosing a simple, private school that already has high test scores, he chose to teach in an area where students were really struggling.

Dedication is all about never giving up and devoting a large amount of effort to whatever is being done.

Students need help, it should be a teacher’s number one priority to help their students. Some may not ask for help and some may need more help than others, however, teachers who get angry or annoyed with students when help is asked of them, will not be successful. Therefore, desire to help others is very important when
