"La mancha de grasa"

Many times, people underestimate education and what it means to be a teacher.

In the life of a student, the role of a teacher can mean everything. A teacher has the power to influence the motivation of a student to want to continue learning. The film shows that being a teacher is not just giving a class; it involves much more. The change and motivation that occurs in the students are noticeable when the teacher Elena finds out about the situation that one of her students, called "Lito", is experiencing and does everything possible to learn to adapt all her teaching in a new environment.

As teachers, we must always take into account the environment in which we teach to create assessments adapted to the real context of the students. These can generate a change in the learning of many of them since associating the evaluations with the reality in which they live will allow them to better understand the content of the class.

Finally, it should be mentioned that the families of the students play a significant role in the education of each one of them. There are cases in which a student's family doesn’t support their studies. In the film, you can see the example of the father of "Lito" who thinks that Lito is wasting his time going to school. Besides, all his friends and brother tell him that school is not going to be of any use to him, that it is a waste of time and money. However, his mother supports him 100% and has all her hopes that the boy can finish school and be a man with all his studies completed. What drives Lito to continue studying every day.

We must bear in mind that school is a child's second home. Therefore, as teachers, we must make students feel good, that school doesn’t feel like just another obligation, but a right that they have and can enjoy without problems.
