Who Will Teach Your Child? is a 1948 Canadian short documentary, directed by Stanley Jackson for the National Film Board of Canada.[1][2]
The film is about the importance of elementary and high school teachers in the development of children,[3] mixing commentary with dramatic enactments of various potential classroom incidents acted by real Ottawa-area students and teachers.[2] It is an analysis of the teacher’s vital role in a child’s development and asks three important questions: how can the teaching profession attract people of superior ability, to the teaching profession; how should these people be trained, and how can they be persuaded to stay in the teaching profession, as opposed to moving on to more lucrative careers.[4]
Who Will Teach Your Child? won the Canadian Film Award for Best Theatrical Short Film at the 1st Canadian Film Awards in 1949.[5] The film was also named by Scholastic Teacher magazine as one of the ten best films about education distributed in the United States in 1949.[6]
