human
I was watching "HIstory Boys" as a celebration to the end of my projects. After 15 mins into the film, I had to stop the film to tune my mindset and rewatch it.
No, it's not the British accent.
It's because the teachers in the film are pretty real.
Too many films out there, glosses the teaching profession. All the teachers in those films seem saintly and inspire all those around them, change the world of the students etc.
But this film, it shows something really real: Teachers are human too.
Yes, teachers are human too. They have character flaws too. Some don't have a life too. Some smoke, some have to close one eye, etc.
They are insecure too. They have to be cautious, cause any students that come too close, could backstab them or use them. Some might stir your emotions, only to make use of your weakness to benefit them.
It is always a gamble showing your more human side to students that seem close to you, or giving a portion of yourself to them. You never know how they will deal with it. Or mould it into something to stab at your back.
That is why we are always cautious. You never know.
To call you my brother, putting my hand on your head, or over your shoulder while taking a photo, takes a lot of courage on my side. I'm already a insecure person, all these makes me even more insecure about it.
