    4.0 out of 5 stars A Passion for Life, March 21, 2001
    By A Customer
    This review is from: Passion for Life [VHS] (VHS Tape)
    This is a must see for anyone in the education field. Although it is 50 years old, it was way ahead of it's time. It is a story about a teacher who is hired to teach young boys in France right after the end of the war. His teaching styles are progressive and quite different than the "arms folded-memorizing facts" method. The boys learn by doing, creating their own printing press, building a water mill, and interviewing townspeople about their work. The best part is the way the teacher "reaches out" to a paticular boy who is troubled... Any teacher, or parent, can relate.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Film For All Educators, August 27, 2000
    By A Customer
    This fantastic film is about a teacher attempting to introduce "modern" teaching methods to a rural multi-graded school near Provence after WWI. This film is remarkable for many reasons. It was made in the early 1950's in France, but it prophetically deals with many current issues of education: curricular reform, open classroom, expeditionary learning, political resistance to educational change, epistemology, subjectivity, the role of teacher as revolutionary, to name but a few. It's truly remarkable.
