Thoughts on Chalk

Chalk illustrates the difficulties that teacher's are faced with in today's education system. It displays the issue of motivating kids to want to learn, and the issue of motivating teachers to want to teach. The problem of disrespect between the students and teachers is repeated many times throughout Chalk, and it shows its overall negative affects. When the student doesn't respect the teacher, he won't listen to what the teacher is saying, and if the teacher doesn't respect the student than he doesn't care.
