5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best TV movie I ever saw, December 17, 2007
By

This review is from: The Marva Collins Story (DVD)
This movie tells the true story of an African-American teacher who opted out of the public school system and succeeded with kids who everyone said could never succeed. An inspiring modern day "Horatio Alger" story of achievement and the overcoming of obstacles. What happens when failure is not an option.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring!, March 10, 2008
By 
This review is from: The Marva Collins Story (DVD)
I am so excited that this movie has become available on DVD. I can remember watching this movie with my mother when I was about 7 years old. We can all relate to the teacher that has dedicated him/herself to the job of educating and instilling positive values in their students. I recently watched it with my son and he as well, loved it. We can use a lot more like Marva Collins especially, in our public school system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Educational Movie Ever, September 15, 2008
This review is from: The Marva Collins Story (DVD)
Thanks to this movie and her books, I had the privilege of working in her Milwaukee and Chicago schools, being trained directly by her in early 1999-2000. She's the real deal, and it's sad that her school has closed, but the legend will live on if educators start adopting her methodology. Thanks Marva.
