Lions for Lambs

I thought this movie was very interesting. I liked seeing all the trouble the teacher had with his students and how he reacted to those problems. It was cool to see him get through to his students in a way that most teachers can't or won't take the time to try. The teacher said, "teachers are more like salesmen...we're selling you to you." In my eyes that is extremely true! Look at the things teachers are taught in their education classes, it's a lot of how to "deal" with certain kids and certain situations but really what we are being taught is how to sell different kids to themselves in different ways.

Not only did this movie hit on how the teacher delt with trouble, it showed a glimpse of how he picked out what kids were worth his time. This is interesting to me because in school there are always kids that like to just simply cause trouble but then there are the good ones that get a little lost along the way and those kids can look and act a lot a like, so how do you tell them apart?
