i just saw an excellent movie, monsieur lazhar. it was one of the 5 films nominated for the "best foreign film" academy award and was showing at the national geographic theater in DC. the plot chronicles a classroom in montreal as an algerian immigrant takes over after the teacher dies tragically. the story is inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time while the new teacher, monsieur lazhar, works to figure out the students and school and the students cope with their immense grief.
to all you non-teachers out there, it accurately shows how a teacher is never 100% off work; the kids are always on our minds.
check it out! and watch to see if it wins the oscar on sunday!
