Special Blog Post

    The Pursuit of Happiness clip  was very inspirational to me. At first he said that his son will not be a good basketball player because the dad was not a good basketball player. The reaction of the son was huge. Immediately the son throws the basketball away picks it up and puts it back in the bag. Then the father goes to the son and says that this is your dream. You need to protect it no matter what nobody says. That part was very inspirational to me because I had gone through a similar experience.

  This could relate to school by a teacher not seeing the students potential. Similar to the video when the son makes the shot but the father says okay, I wasn't a good basketball player so don't play basketball. So its kind of like a student saying I am good at multiplication, but the teacher says I wasn't good at multiplication so were not going to learn that. The ways that school can improve is to let the students be heard. By that I mean teachers should hear about the students reaction on how the teacher is teaching them a certain subject. Another reason to let the "students be heard" is that teacher s can receive more ideas on how to get education more kid friendly.

  This clip can also relate to working in groups at school. For example say there is this very smart student in working with a partner to study for a subject, and the other partner does not know a question. So that would probably lead to the very smart student to say so you don't the problem so then you will fail the test. So that will lead to the other partner to say oh your right I will fail that test.
