Chalk (2006/I) – 4/5
It gets an extra half or full point b/c it’s independent.
A (sometimes) funny look at teachers’ lives in and out of school. It’s a rough looking life w/ little reward or encouragement. I felt pretty sorry for teachers and I don’t think I cd do it.
I wdn’t call this a “mockumentary” b/c I think of those as comedies. This is more of a semi-unscripted, “fictional documentary” like “The Office.”
Haiku Summary
teachers have hard jobs
students make it harder still
I guess they love it.
