If you are a teacher, and you have never heard of Marva Collins, then I highly recommend you watch this movie.
Marva Collins was a teacher in Chicago who was exasperated with the public school system. Teaching and learning were not happening in the schools. Her classroom was a stark contrast to the zoo the rest of the school was. She came up with a great solution to the school problem.
I watched this movie as a young girl in the 80's. I credit this movie for being one of the reasons I wanted to become a teacher myself. Excellent performances by Cicely Tyson and Morgan Freeman.
Marva Collins passed away last year. Honor her memory by viewing this movie.
