Chalk real time notes

The movie was released in 2006.  It is a mockumentary about teaching.  The main characters in the movie are Mr. Stroope, Mr. Lowrey and Coach Webb.  It is a movie from the perspective of the teachers.  It mentions that 50% of teachers quit during the first few years of teaching.  Mr. Stroope is noted as being sometimes less intelligent than his students although he wants to be Teacher of Year.  Mr. Lowrey is a history teacher who can't seem to find the joy or drive in teaching history.  Coach Webb is a woman gym teacher who tries to get her students to take her and her class seriously, as a class just like history or English.  It is a light movie with a serious subject underneath.  Teachers have an important role in children's education.  They need to enjoy what they do, be educated enough to teach, and have respect from the students in order to learn.
