Reaction to Hard Lessons

Ainura Iskandarova

Fall 2016

The purpose in the “Hard Lessons” movie is to unite the human mass who is mixing up religious and political values under system of education. This aim has the same tone with the concept of trust in the book chapter Becoming a Trustworthy Leader (Tschannen-Moran, 2013). This article shows how the five features of trust are interrelated with the five elements of leadership (visioning, modeling, coaching, managing, mediating) to create trust among the five constituencies of an educational system. The author describes that in order to gain trust, leadership skills and character, honesty, good will and sincerity are needed.

    So, in my following reaction I am analyzing the movie “Hard Lessons” according to the book chapter Becoming Trustworthy Leader, and find out to what extend Mr. McKenna could be considered trustworthy leader. The movie “Hard Lessons” is based on the real story where new principal Mr. George McKenna of Washington High School is appointed to fight against violence, gangs and drugs users at school. He is aimed to change all the inner system of the school reforming learning and teaching styles, and inviting parents to contribute to the school change. Despite all hardships he faces, Mr McKenna does not quit, moreover he meets his goal establishing safer environment, school disciplinary and improving the education. If we compare McKenna’s practices to the book chapter “Becoming a Trustworthy Leader” where the central idea is building trust to make a successful school , it is clearly seen in the movie that he is trying to use different ways to foster trust among teachers, students ,parents and him to make better and effective school.
