11-year-old Challa grew up living with her drug-addicted mother. He makes a living training war dogs. This means of making a living made him violent. This is reflected in his campus life. Camilla is a 6th grade teacher he is awe and adored. One day, the teacher was so ill that he could not come to school for several months. The new teacher could not understand Chala's behavior and sent him to a labor camp. When Ms. Camilla returned, she strenuously opposed the new teacher and classmates. Camilla and Chala's relationship began to heat up, but the growing relationship threatened them to stay in school.
The film takes place in Cuba, cuba, one of the five socialist countries in the world, whose economy has been blockaded by the United States for many years, the population is small, and there are often wars, and the overall situation may be the same as that of China in the 80s.
However, it is such a developing country that has achieved universal health care and free education. Especially in terms of education, it is highly developed, from kindergartens to doctoral students, all without money.
Cuba's "Childhood That Can't Fly" reflects the education system here in Cuba.
Little boy and little girl
However, the problem teenager actually has a careful, gentle and righteous side. Bring tea and water to the drug-addicted mother, accompany the teacher to visit sick classmates, and fight for weak friends.
So when the principal of the school prepares to send the child to a re-education school (similar to a juvenile detention center in China) for the so-called school honor, once you have such a thought, then you are sure that he will go down the road of crime when he grows up. So Chala's teacher, Carmela, resolutely rejected the principal's offer, insisting: "My students never go to re-education schools, without exception." Teacher Carmela believes that children's growth process is inseparable from four things: family, school, strictness and love. And the juvenile's family environment has obviously lost family and love, if the school gives him up again, it will really only be destroyed in the end...
Teacher Carmela and Chala
The secret of education is to respect children, and Ono thought that this sentence could not be more appropriate to put on Teacher Carmela.
Compared with the education method of Carmela teacher, the education methods of other teachers in the film are rigid and old-fashioned, inhuman and even a little irresponsible. For example, there is an honor student in the film who continues to study because of the household registration problem, and the new teacher knows the situation and just lets the students go home to find their fathers, and the student's father is just a small vendor who strives for survival in the cracks of war life and is simply powerless...
Very real and cruel, in fact, this situation is not uncommon now, "teaching and educating people" is a word, and now many teachers have separated it, just simply teaching and educating people, really concerned about children's learning and various problems in life. I very much hope that teachers around the world can treat their children like Carmela teachers, so that they can be worthy of the word "teacher", and hope is hope after all, and there is no happy ending in the end of the film, perhaps such a war-torn country, itself still has many problems such as politics and economics.
And the strength of one person is limited, when Teacher Carmela leaves the school, who can help them, the resistance of the little people is not enough to make any waves in the big system society, it is necessary for the unity of the whole society and the whole nation to change together to create a better tomorrow, after all, the future tomorrow belongs to these children, if you all give up on them, then what hope does the whole country have?
"When educating children, you need 4 things: home, school, strictness and love. But when you go out of school, you have to face the social situation. As a teacher, you need to know that something is waiting for them outside. Life used to be much simpler than it is now, and I knew exactly what to prepare for my students, but now, I only know one thing, and that is not to prepare anything for them. ”
