I showed this wonderful film to my Year 10 class today.
It's a documentary about an amazing teacher in rural France who runs a tiny schoolroom with local kids ranging from the age of 5 to about 12 and it spans a year. It follows the children through their school life and occasionally delves into their home lives and it's utterly charming.
Monsieur never shouts. He handles everything with calm sensitivity and firm good humour. He's an absolute model of how to be in a classroom.
Even the boys were charmed by this slow, gentle study of life and people.
