The film The Hobart Shakespearians, made me
think about how important education is to not only the students but also to the
teachers. The teachers are very important to the children. The teacher’s definitely
impact the children’s lives a lot. I feel like the class that Rafe has is
another way to better the students’ lives in the long run because of the
lessons that he teachers and also the way he teaches them. I think it is great
how Rafe’s class is creating a better foundation for these students’ lives as
they grow up and they learn the importance and/or values of education. Rafe’s students
cared so much about their education they even came to school on Saturday’s. Rafe
stated “Students even came over to my house on their Saturdays so that they
could come learn”. Unlike kids today, who would never think about going to a
class on Saturday his students used their vacation or break time to go and
learn one more extra day. I love how Rafe is teaching a class that helps teach
long lasting life skills for the students and is always encouraging them to do their
best. My experience in elementary school was kind of similar to how Rafe was to
the students except for me, all of my teachers were there for me and was always
there if I needed help with something or had a question. I tended to struggle
with my work so it was nice to be able to go straight to my teachers and get
help from them at such a young age. It was nice to see what I was capable of
doing on my own but if I had a question on something, I made sure I went and
got help right away. With me, I tend to learn better in a visual way or learn
with a hands on activity so in my opinion I think my elementary education went
very good just like Rafe’s student’s educations went. On the other hand, I
learned that the value of setting goals were very high for Rafe’s students.
Rafe cared so much about his students and really wanted his students to all
create goals for themselves so that they knew where they would be going/heading
later on in life. Rafe’s students are being taught how to set goals for
themselves and also how to accomplish them, and in my opinon all children need
to be taught that. A specific personal goal that I have set for myself for next
year is to either be in my first couple of classes for nursing at OSUM or to be
moved out and living on Ohio State’s main campus and taking my nursing classes
there.
That was a very good summary of the film
