MOVIE: "LIKE STARS ON EARTH".
I watched it. I loved it. I recommend it for every teacher and child care provider as well as parents. Like stars on earth is a Bollywood movie acted in English.
It is about a young boy prone to colorful flights of fancy finds his hyperactive
imagination may serve a greater purpose after being sent away to
boarding school by his frustrated parents. Ishaan Awasthi is an
eight-year-old boy who dedicates more time to dreaming up wondrous
worlds of animals and kites than he does to finishing up his schoolwork.
When Ishaan gets in trouble at school and his parents reach the end of
their rope, it's quickly decided that the best thing for everyone is to
send the boy away
to a school where he can
be properly disciplined. Upon arriving at his new school, Ishaan is
disheartened to find that things there are much the same as they were
back home; he's still a misfit, but now he doesn't even have his parents
to talk to.
Later, newly arrived art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh
arrives at Ishaan's boarding school looking to liven things up by
getting his students to think outside the box. Not surprisingly, the
vast majority of students respond to their free-thinking new teacher
with great enthusiasm -- all except for Ishaan, that is.
When Ram
notices just how unhappy his most imaginative young student really is,
he vows to break through to Ishaan and unlock the promising young
student's full POTENTIAL.
Just remember that word every time you want to give up on a child be it yours, your student or a neighbor's. Every child has amazing potentials and they just need our guidance and patience to discover and unleash what God has put inside them.
