Matilda | Teacher Features: Episode 9

January 10, 2017 by Jake Scott Leave a Comment

Teacher FeaturesFor this episode we evaluated Ms. Honey, the loving primary school teacher from Matilda. Directed by Danny Devito, this adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic middle grade novel tells the story of a gifted young girl named Matilda. Matilda is a genius and when she goes to school her teacher immediately recognizes her gifts. However, the wicked principal, Ms. Trunchbull, is not supportive and runs her school like a weird children’s prison. To make things worse, Matilda’s parents are negligent and cruel. Matilda’s father makes a living cheating people at his car dealership, while her airhead mother fritters her days away at the Bingo Hall.

Ms. Honey is a loving, supportive teacher. It’s hard to say exactly how effective her methods are, as they’re not depicted, but we were able to draw conclusions based on what is shown.

Katherine had a particular affinity for this movie when she was a students because she sort of resembled Matilda. She had the same haircut when she was a kid.

If anyone wants to go see the musical version of Matilda, Jake and Katherine would really love to go with you. It combines so many of the things we love: teaching, kids books, musicals. It’s coming to Minneapolis soon. Maybe we’ll see you there.
