Recently we viewed the video, The Water is Wide, in my Principles of Education and Training class.
You will find my responses to the blog prompt below.
6.
1. The students couldn't really read or write and were taught discipline over anything else.
2.The other teacher wanted the students to be taught discipline and not what the kids actually had to learn. She also was scared that she would loose her job as the teacher because she was a african american woman in the white south.
3.Most of the parents did not want the kids to goto Washington. They didn't trust Conroy.
7. Mr. Conroy is a leader by fighting for the permission to get the kids to go to the field trip.
He is honest and hardworking by telling the other teacher that she isn't doing her job right and he took action by teaching the kids in the correct way. He is also goal oriented by knowing what the kids need to learn .
