The Water Is Wide Reflection

Recently, I viewed the inspirational movie, The Water Is Wide, in my P.E.T. class. You will find my response to the blog prompt below.

1. One way education has changed is that back then they didn't have the same technology as we do now because back then they didn't have laptops and iPads and phones, they had projectors and books. Another way education has changed from then and now is that back then they used chalk boards, now we use smart boards and white boards.

2. Children now and then both respect their teachers because if they didn't they would get punished by their teacher. Also the students do the work when the teacher and/or adult figure asks' them to do it. The teachers in both times were all enthusiastic towards their teaching.

5. Mr.Conroy went to all the students in his class houses and talked to their parents about the school and that he is the new teacher for their kids.

6. At the point in the movie where he encountered roadblocks he encountered roadblocks with kids because when he first started teaching there with the students the students were very shy towards Mr.Conroy about their feelings. Also they weren't very open about their knowledge and their talents around Mr.Conroy.
