How Chalk relates to Friere and Gatto

Chalk is a movie about a dysfunctional school with dysfunctional teachers. Friere and Gatto also agree that many schools, like the one in chalk, are totally dysfunctional with the teachers having a lot to do with it. Gatto states that, "The differentiating function. Once their social role has been "diagnosed," children are to be sorted by role and trained only so far as their destination in the social machine merits - and not one step further. So much for making kids their personal best." In Chalk, one teacher in particular gets angered when one of his students actually knows more than him and is a lot smarter. He gets mad that he's usuign words he can't understand. He tells the student to not act that way because he didn't want to look dumb in front of the principle. He even threatened to tell his parents he was failing the class if he kept it up. The teacher is not pushing his student what so ever and is just keeping him stuck in this place where he can't academically achieve because of his own ignorance. Friere also agres with Gatto when he states "The teacher is the Subject of the learning process, while the pupils are mere objects." Meaning that to the teachers, the students don't mean anything to them. Just like the teacher I was just referring to. He only used those kids so he could get best teacher of the year. He even took time out of the class to have them make posters for him. He didn't even care that it was their educational time. But I guess it wouldn't of mattered since the teacher is completely ignorant and could care less about their education so they probably wouldn't of benefited from his educational teachings to begin with.
