The Ron Clark Story is a very interesting movie. It tells about many
interesting fact about being a teacher who teach in the slum area of the big
city. It was full of problems that come from the society around the school and
also the family of the students itself. In facing those problems, even Ron
himself got a difficult time in solving so many problems that bind their
students and school. But due to his personal attitude, his professionalism as a
teacher, and his contribution to the society around him, Ron can surpasses the
problems with his hard will and support from the society. According to that
point we see a professional teacher is not only a teacher who focus on the
teaching the students inside the classroom, but also focus on keeping his attitude
toward himself and the public in order to be a public role model that can give
education and construct the development of the society outside the classroom.
As an individual, we see Ron as a good person. He
shows a good manner to everyone in his surroundings which cause him to have
many good friends in everywhere he stays. This is shown back when he received a
gift from his old school, which is actually a parking sign. Although maybe he felt shocked when he saw
the gift, but he shows a good response in order to respect them. Besides that,he
also has good will to help each other by giving his attention when someone in
trouble. His patience and persistence in solving problems also shows a good
example as we know that in every life there are many challenges that can make us
down. But if we are patient and keep persistent in finding the way to solve it,
the way will eventually come at the right time.
In doing his duty, Ron sets a good role model as a
professional teacher. The first thing that we really amazed with is his attitude
of showing his care to his students. He does everything he can in order to
shape his students to be a better learner than before. He spent his out-class
time to serve the students by giving extra study time to his students, and
giving lecture even when he is sick. In our opinion, it is very hard to find a
teacher that cares that much to his/her students. As a professional teacher, he
never brings his personal problems to the class. When he is in the class, he
never talk about his problems, but he focuses on how the good learning system
can be conducted in the class.
In conclusion, we infer that being a professional
teacher is not only being a man that can only speak in front of the class. To
be a professional teacher, teacher candidate also have to master some skills,
such as being a patient in facing students and the problems in his life, persistent
and creative in solving many problems especially in the classroom, be nice to
the communities, and keep humble to everyone even when he reach the top.
