In the movie, Precious, reflects the temporary education problems mainly resulting from the different attitude of teachers in American. According to Precious’ statements, her score of English was very well. However, in the pre-class test of one-by-one school, she only got two point eight while the average level was eight points; that is to say, actually, she cannot read and write. It was the teachers who were supposed to teach students from unknown to known gave Precious up by letting Precious pass the exams directly instead of taking their effort to teach the black girl. Later on, the manager of that school abandoned Precious. She sent Precious to each-one-teach-one class and pretended that the arrangement was good for her. On the other words, Precious was given up again. The school regarded the students like Precious as a trouble and got rid of a trouble with ease. They pushed away the problem rather than dealing with it. In the class of each-one-teach-one, instead of taking those students as a problem, Miss Rain taught them patiently and read their hearts from their journals. Those trouble students opened their mind to Miss Rain and had a motivation to write their dairy for sharing with their teacher. The so-called formal education got rid of troubles; while a teacher of an informal educational association took it and resolved the problems. How ironic it is! The above problems of education widely appeared. According to 1970 news on line, we could see how eager the young blacks wanting to receive education: “In the TIME-Louis Harris poll, 97% of young blacks interviewed planned to finish high school, and 67% expect to go to college.” However, white teachers had some prototype to black people as uneducated. With this attitude, regardless schools are integration or segregation ones, black students would suffered from discrimination endlessly. Therefore, if the Americans want to pursue a fair environment of education, it is better for them to get rid of racial prototype both of Blacks and Whites.
