Ron Clark
Why would Ron Clarke leave a comfortable job in the SOuth to go up to NEw York City in the first place is a good question. He wants to make a difference. Matthew Perry best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends is very good in this role as the teacher who wants to make good. He goes to New York City in hopes of making a difference. For starters, he gets and prefers to work in one of the poor sections of the city, Inner Harlem. In the meantime, he has to work so he gets a job at a theme restaurant where the other workers are aspiring actors and he's an aspiring teacher. Once he takes a job of teaching, he is in for a challenge. Since I am planning to become a teacher myself, he does at least visit the students' homes before getting in the classroom. There are some awkward cheesy moments in this film but it's still worth watching. The Ron Clark Story is true and suitable family viewing. It also shows Ron's persistence in achieving the unthinkable with the forgotten students. When they get to go see a Broadway show, their faces light up. Imagine, they live north of Broadway and most have never seen a show. He helps boost their spirits and shows that faith, trust, and hard work can make a difference. If only all our schools had teachers like Ron Clark.
