I teach a moviemaking club once a week at a local school in the area. This was one we did for fun together as a class. The shot demanded that the students act a little wild and crazy in the classroom. I was very conflicted. The teacher in me was greatly concerned with the unbridled chaos that happened in the classroom. The filmmaker in me thought it was awesome.
The filmmaker won.
Pretty accurate portrayal of the kids where I work… (Well, except for the part where they are actually behaving! =^^= )
My mother is a retired elementary school teacher. She doesn’t miss it, though she often sees the kids as they are now grown.
My students are the coolest! They really had fun making this little film. (Although I think one of the teachers from the classroom wasn’t thrilled about the mess…)
