Kindergarten Cop

[John Kimble (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is an undercover cop posing as a teacher.  He has just hit a father of a student when he recognized that the kid had bruises, given by the father.]

I bet you never expected to get a movie like this up here on the blog.  I wanted to take the time to show you that you can learn things from all sorts of places, which is actually part of my point about this clip.

So often we think we know exactly what it is to do a job, or to be good at it.  This is especially true of the older generation.  "I have been doing this since before you were born."  This is true, there is a point to doing what has already been done, "if it ain't broke don't fix it."  But we also need to be open to what comes up in life, since life is rarely predictable.  As the principal lectures on she points out something that we all need to be aware of, that good things can come from all sorts of unlikely places.

She tells him that she has no clue what type of cop he is, but the things he is doing as a teacher are working.  She can recognize when things are working, even though they do not fall in the conventional approach.  These are the types of bosses we need to have out there.  Ones that are open to something new, that things don't always have to go as they have always been.

Overall it is a fun movie, and references what I am sure many a teacher has thought about.  But what we should take from the clip, above all is to be open to things that are different from us, you never know it might work.
