Beyond the Blackboard

  Have any of you ever seen the movie Beyond the Blackboard? I did... three times to be exact, and it is an amazing movie. I would recommend reading the book first because it is more in-depth, but if time isn't on your side then the movie would be the next great big choice.
  What I've seen in the movie is Stacy Bess has to overcome obstacles such as having to teach first to sixth grade all at the same time. Another obstacle was that at the beginning Stacy Bess didn't have any teaching materials, and what kind of teacher teaches without anything to teach with? I give her props because I doubt not many of us could have done what she did.
  I am planning on teaching art in high school, and let me tell you... It would be really difficult to teach how to draw if I didn't have penicls or papers fort the students to use. Probably what I would've done was just teach them verbally. I have to think about what would I do if that did actually happen to me. Anyone have any ideas?
