    My mum took me to see this film along with Guess Whose Coming to Dinner? What a powerful, handsome, brave and talented actor Sidney Poitier was. We were both smitten and incredibly moved even though I was only eight at the time. Lulu's beautiful song still moves me to tears especially with the movie clips. I miss the 60's, Sidney Poitier and most of all my mum. God bless you both.❤

      They don't make movies as character driven as To Sir With Love anymore. Now it's all action-heroes, super-heroes (for kids masquerading as adults), and special effects. We are in one of the worst eras of film making of all time. Perhaps the worst. And it's not going away any time soon. And please, NO MORE dinosaur movies.

      I taught world history and had some of the typical troublemaking teenagers who thought they were the center of attention.(Fortunately, they were the minority.) One of my students had seen the movie somehow and he told me that I should show it to the whole class. If they don't remember dates and specific laws and tariffs, I'll live. If they learned the constant themes of nationalism, imperialism, religious fervor, disparities between the wealthy and the poor, themes that have marched us to war since time immemorial, then I am grateful for every moment I spent as a teacher. To all teachers everywhere, thank you. To teachers in Texas and Florida who are having chains bind them from teaching the truth, I stand with you and pray that people come to their senses.

    Listening to this song once again, thinking of my old school days, what a shock I had when I left school, as back in the 70’s there was no one to help you, if you never got all your eduction for one reason or another because life happens. As John Lennon Said, And boy did it happen to me, when my mum went into hospital, my Dad went to pieces, my sister left home to live with her boyfriend all at the same time, I just cried because I had to learn everything my mum did and go to school, So school ended I went to work, as there was no college which I never thought I needed anyway, I ended up wasting my life, Because I have loads of regrets, But have learned to live with them, Because Life Happens 😢But this film really makes me cry because you don’t think you are that bothered about school, But I would go back in a heartbeat ❤

    Those schoolgirl days
    Of telling tales and biting nails are gone
    But in my mind
    I know they will still live on and on
    But how do you thank someone
    Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
    It isn't easy, but I'll try
    If you wanted the sky
    I would write across the sky in letters
    That would soar a thousand feet high
    "To sir, with love"
    The time has come
    For closing books and long last looks must end
    And as I leave
    I know that I am leaving my best friend
    A friend who taught me right from wrong
    And weak from strong
    That's a lot to learn
    What, what can I give you in return?
    If you wanted the moon
    I would try to make a start
    But I would rather you let me give my heart
    "To sir, with love"

      Beautiful! Thank you kindly. In many ways that's everybody's song. It's like graduating high school and college, saying goodbye to friends and teachers, knowing some of them you will never see again. The school girl and boy days are gone. What the passage of time does to us all. Lulu's song strikes a cord in the heart, a time past.
      Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of this world. All who believe on His name shall be saved. 🕊❤️🙏🏾
