After watching this film, I wished I could go back and redo my 25+ years of teaching. I was a reading specialist, and was an excellent reading teacher. I felt I made a difference in the lives of my students, and I did for most of them. But after watching this film, and hearing the stories of those young people, I realized I could have done so much more. This film should be required viewing for ALL persons who work with disadvantaged children. I'll never forget "dandelions and orchids!"
