Grinch or Santa?

These are the three main compelling reasons for the practice of the Christmas Holiday inside the classroom:
1. The removal of Christmas celebrations would downgrade students' constitutional rights.
2. Christmas celebrations are traditional, students look forward to celebrating these holiday with their friends during school time. Their removal would drastically change the cheery Christmas mood students experience during this time of the year.
3. The removal of Christmas celebrations from classrooms would intervene with the happiness that less fortunate students feel after receiving any kind of small gift from their classmates or teacher.

American Teacher

Honestly  at the beginning of the movie I was a little concerned as to if this would be the right profession for me because I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep a stable home considereing the fact that payment isn't very high. I feel that the biggest frustration teachers in the movie had was the eceomnmic worries and strain it brought between their families. A way teaching could improve without increase in money woukld be if teachers included more technology while treaching, this could cause students to be more engaged.
