| How We Determine Our Grades | |
After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.
Just when Jack is becoming comfortable with his new life working as a tire salesman, he has an opportunity to begin working for his old company again and to make more money. However, what he perceives as beneficial for their family meets with a negative reaction from his wife. Do you think money and prestige were part of the motive for getting this job? Does having more money always improve a family?
Can you think of seemingly small decisions that may have affected your life in a major way? Is it possible to completely reverse an earlier choice? If you can’t go back does that mean it’s too late to try and change your life?
