To Sir, With Love-Respect

To Sir, With Love is a truly amazing story.It is about an educated man who is trained as an engineer, but starts to teach while trying to get a job in that position. Since he is black, he has a very hard time getting along with everyone at first. He has to teach a very undisciplined class at Noth Quay School.The value of "Respect" is a very important life lesson shown in the film.
As soon as he starts to teach, all the students make fun of his color, riddicule him, cuss all the time, and disrespect him greatly. After an incident, he loses his temper which i think was a good thing to the storyand the students respected him for that. He realized at that time that they are not kids anymore and that they are to be adult in a little while.
He soon starts to teach them about life and how respect is a mojor part of life. He tells everyone to address fello students as Ms. or Mr.. He also practices that himself. Practicing what you say brought great respect from the students to him. By the end of the story, the whole class was calling him sir and and had deep respect for him. Mr. Thakeray changed their lives greatly, turning them from imature idiots to mature, sophisticated, smart people. The story was very touching at the end, when they give him a gift and also dedicate a very nice song to him, To Sir, With Love.:-).
For those of you who have't watched this move or read the book, i recommed you do so. Remeber if you respect others, others will respect you. If you don't repect them they won't respect you.

I second S.Z.'s suggestion that you read this post in the assembly. THAT'S how much I liked it! Good work, J.P!
I was also impressed by the fact that you understood that Mark's anger actually helped bring about some good changes in the students. Maybe I can twist this fact to justify some of my own outbursts. (NOT) Astagfirullah!!!
