The title of this movie is The Ron Clark story in which Matthew Perry played
the role of Ron Clark and it was released on August 13, 2006. Ron Clark is a teacher
in Harlem elementary school in New York who did everything and worked hard to
teach his students to learn and dream big and Directed by Director Randa Haines
with a drama genre and a school theme. Ron Clark is a teacher in the North Carolina
area and he is a respected teacher in his community. Because his passion is
teaching, he went to New York City because he believed that there were students
who needed him.

This is where he found the school of Harlem elementary school where he

chose to teach a worst class because he believed that he could teach them they
would learn from him and dream. The theme and message in Ron Clark Story are
social and personal themes because of what Ron Clark did in how he taught his
students, it says that as a teacher we need to be energetic, creative, and idealistic in
order to help and get the interest of our students. The moral, ethical or social
influence, Ron Clark did not give up on his students and he was only positive
because he believed that children have talents so he worked hard, he was creative
and energetic and he was not gave up teaching them.

My opinion is that he should not forget his own health just because he wants
his students to learn for free, but I was amazed and cried when I watched the movie
because no matter how hard it is to teach, he never gave up up and they really
learned, and he also talked to the children’s parents to support them, because their
children have his desire and talent. Be Idealistic, be energetic, be creative and don’t
give up because everyone learns if we want to. The movie is very good because as
a Teacher it is encouraging because of what Ron Clark did, he did everything and
the students even became high scorers in the exam, no matter how worst they are,
they have intelligence and talent.
