Would you believe that one person can change the whole school become well? I would say that it is impossible for me to do it but for Mr. Clark, he would say, “Impossible is nothing to him!” and is the one who makes the difference for his school in the movie of “Lean On Me”. This story is really inspiring me to be a different teacher with having so much confidence in handling the students in school. This story is adapted based on the true story. In this movie, Mr. Joe Clark is assigned as principle of Eastside High School. Nobody thinks that he would last there because he will handle the school with the having the problematic students who involve in drugs, violence and others. He wants to make the difference for his school and tries his best to improve it. Throughout this story, he expels a few students who do not obey the rules of school. The way he handles the school is tyrannical and different way, but however, other teachers do not like his way at all. Because some of teachers do not like him and argue with him, he decides to fire those who are against him, just like what happen to a music teacher. It is pity when a teacher teaches the school for a long time and all of a sudden, he or she is totally being fired by a tyrannical principle. As a result, he finally changes the environment of the school and successfully prevents his students from involved the drug abuse and gang violence in the school. Students do really like him very much after he becomes the principle of the school within a few months.
Mr. Joe Clark resembles my secondary school principle. He is a very strict and dedicated person. At that time, he becomes my History teacher in my class and everybody seems afraid of him but for, I do not as I know he is really kind-hearted person when he teaches his students. However, at the outside of the class, he becomes a different person like a monster who shall make people cry. The lesson that I have learned from this movie is teacher should be responsible towards students. Students are teacher’s clients. A teacher job is to educate students and make them become well-disciplined and better person. Students depend on their teacher for their future. They put on their beliefs towards their teacher because teacher is a person who can change them differently. If not, who else can be? Sometimes students cannot cope with their teacher because there is no responsibility in teacher’s attitude and teacher does not educate them well in class. Teacher tends to be more responsible just like Mr. Clark who has done a really good job for being responsible as principle school; make sure his school in safety, expel and punish the bad students, and keep up the school’s grade.

really an interesting movie and it is useful for us as a teacher to be to see this movie because we can learn on how to create discipline among students and we also can learn about methods in teaching.
i like Morgan Freeman most. the character of a principal like the one he acted is what i dream of when i become a teacher one day.
