Rule No.1 “We are a FAMILY”

The Ron Clark Story is a story full of enthusiasm! Why do I say so? Ron Clark was a teacher full of the self fulfilling proficiency machine. He is a very good example of a dedicated teacher. His patients I must say is deeper than the ocean and higher than the mountains. He is strict, humble, assertive, cunning, and full of love. I liked his idea of leaving elementary school and going forward towards adventure. His life in Inner Harlem Elementary School was a total disaster but he managed to change it into paradise. His teaching methods are all effective and captivating especially those with handling students.
He acts smart and deals almost all his challenges set by the students well. The way he builds the relationship with his students may seem easy but he really gave a detail understanding of his ways. Those students may seem harsh, rude and spoiled but that is the situation in certain schools in Malaysia. His rules like, “We are a family, No gums, line up for meals and nobody talks while I talk” seems like nothing but that’s where everything starts. He sets a rule for himself and makes sure the students follow them. While students follow these rules they are trained to behave themselves and to respect the teacher.
Ron uses the students own speciality to teach them. Those good with music learn with music. The way they understood and memorized history was tremendous. I should say many guys do not prefer to be teachers nowadays. I guess Ron Clark is the best example of a male teacher !!!! I hope to follow his steps when I become a teacher.
