I enjoyed the movie "Father's Day"
I will use it in my class with the Court Schools to generate discussion about relationships-- and also with my University class - same general idea, but more for the value of video in context with writing
Knowing you as I do Katie, I realize this site has a lot of potential and positive aspects- I would bring up one variance - Today I mentioned reading about a mailman in Florida who upon noticing that some of his "customers" were senior citizens and their front lawns needed some TLC, spends his Saturdays cutting them --For Free- One of my court school guys said he was a sucker-- And while I know he ( mailman) is not, I fear many folks( not solely children) would share that sentiment-- The WIFM ( What's in it For Me!) is alive and thriving-- this video served to remind me of the familial connectivity that often may be hidden under a lot of pain and bad memories, but is still able to be salvaged-- Can we salvage those that hold the WIFM so near and dear?
