In my last year of University, a friend said she was going to see a film showing on campus. Since that day, and, indeed, until my retirement from Teaching, I showed this film to ALL of my classes under the pretext that this film would give the viewer a closer contact with the Reality of Teaching AND creation of Curriculium. Notwithstanding the merit of the value of fighting for one's beliefs, as Pat Conway did, this man gave from his Heart to these children of Yamacraw Island. I believe that this is a vital portrait of Humanness to be shown people, whether 14 or 94.
