ELEPHANT(!!)
today a word about a movie that touched me and is recommended to everyone, especially the ones who have a saying in education or deal with kids. "Elephant" is a terrible film,not for what it shows, but for what it stands for. Teachers should stop and think about what they are doing: educating? and how?
for me was a shocking and i question more and more my task! Can we justify our actions only as 'human nature'? it's it still our (prehistoric) need of defense?it's our warrior appeal?
i wonder, i just do:human nature is strange! Human brain rules it all, and as a 'machine' it is do we already know how to work with it?
so many questions, and this movie to assure us there are no answers!
Gus Van Stant, the director. Good point. Strong story. Because it's real(?!)Reality is cruel, but this is beyond whatever we expect. Liked it, but perplexed me!
Where am i failing? Why don't we reach everyone the same way?
Dealing with kids is great, but dangerous..... no doubt. Easy is not for sure, but our effort seems not getting anywhere.
