Continuing with our review of filmography related to the Education, today it is the turn of a film elevated Sidney Poitier, "Rebellion in the classrooms", 1967 film directed by James Clavell and starred in Poitier accompanied by Geoffrey Bayldon, Adrienne Posta and Patricia Routledge, among others.
Without a doubt, a classic that you will like a lot and that should be a must for teachers, since it invites us to meditate on Thackeray and the lesson he gives us about how to reach students and how to treat, talk to, motivate them, etc. And it is that its main objective seems at all times what today is called «Education for citizenship», to teach them to live together, to have a minimum of manners, to teach them values, to respect, to be responsible, tolerant ...
And all this, Thackeray achieves with a discipline far from that iron that they try to sell us, it does it from respect and logic, making them see that what they learn will serve them for life. He treats them like people, from you to you, never from a platform. It is also true that the current situation may not be like that of the 60s, but the background is very similar.
