Reflection:
I really
like Indian movie especially when it is directed by Aamir Khan. He’s a good
director and actor who’s goal is to inspire the audience by his movie. The
movie every child is special is intended for general audience. I enjoy watching
it for it uses humorous especially in the part where in they use musical
technique.
The main character Ishanan made me
laugh by his funny acts and he also made me cry when he bear the pain of
enduring boarding school alone and facing the challenges of life. I also like the
supporting actors and actresses they showed the real situation of having Ishaan
Awasthi, who always being in trouble, misbehaving and out of focus from his
instructional classes.
Actually
it’s my second time to watch Every Child is Special. While watching it I
remember the reporting we had in Facilitating Learning where in I was the one
who reported about Learning Exeptionalities, this make me realize the use of
the theory of multiple intelligences in education. It plays an important role
to help special children. It can be a vessel in informing the teachers and most
importantly the parents for them to assist their children.
As
a future educator, I know that watching Every Child is Special has a purpose.
It inspires me to build my
heart to have patience, sympathy and passion in teaching. The movie also serve
as a waking up call for me to get ready in facing the field of teaching where
in I have to endure the challenges of being the model of my future learners.
The purpose of the movie is to make
the parents realize that they should not demand the kids to excel in their
subjects so that they can live out the unfulfilled ambitions of their parents.
Each child is special in the sense that they have their own talent, skills and
calling in which they may or may not be in line with what their families wish. Parents
should not only provide the basic needs of their child but to give them love,
patience and time.
Conclusion:
Every Child is Special brings hope that having
dyslexia or any disability is not really a desperate situation. There still
teaching strategies for them, we just need to look for an appropriate approach
for them. Every smile of special children showed that they still believe that
life is beautiful so let us make life attractive for them.
