This movie was a bit of a disappointment. Like Waiting for Superman, it only really focused on the adults as being the problems/solutions to the education problem. Why are these movies putting so much attention on the adults when we are aiming to help the kids?
Chalk also didn't really show how horrible it can be to have a terrible teacher. Sure, the history guy was bad at first, but he learned from his mistakes and grew as a person. Not all teachers do that - in fact, almost all of them learn nothing from their mistakes.
It is also seen that, like students, teachers care way too much about how they appear to other people. As adults, they really should care that much about how their students see them.
I think Chalk was really hard to connect with because it was a mokumentary, so I didn't really have high expectations from the very start.
