In this film it is clear that more should be focused on the way of
teaching. Since at first we can see that different things such as drug addiction, violence, gangs and other social ghosts as well as racism, affect us in different ways and even in learning.
Today's educational systems always follow the same
rigorous plan, in which if you do not excel in a subject you are left behind, regardless of your problems, difficulties, etc. This movie also talks about art and literature completely changed the perspective of the students, and their perspective on life. Because the teacher was the first to believe in them, worrying more about how they would continue their lives if she only taught classes and nothing else.
Art is the way in which you can make a person feel
something through the 5 senses, escaping for a moment from the bad things in life and literature to harmonize a bit, so that we can decide if we are going to repeat the same mistakes of the past.
