Don’t bore children

During the past three months, I have seen some short educational films prepared around existent examples of certain schools, teachers, head teachers and teaching practices. Almost all the films were made to showcase practices that a larger cross-section of people mostly connected with the education domain could learn from. The production quality of the films was quite good, the illustrations were relevant, the situations were real and some of our team members truly needed to be complimented for what they had done despite obstacles. With the kind of low awareness and low expectations that society in general has with regard to school education, some viewers were bound to get carried away by some of the films.
