This week we watched a film in the classroom entitled “The Motel Children of Orange County”. This movie followed children through their daily lives who lived either in motels or on the streets of Orange County. They attended a school that was geared to homeless children. The class expressed that they felt this school was necessary but had its faults, partly due to the fact that school had limited funding and limited resources so to cope they placed three grade levels into one classroom. This causes difficulty when teaching higher level material and overall interactions with the students. The movie was extremely impactful because it depicted the daily struggles and daily worries that these children face. One aspect of the film that was saddening was the fact that these children are constantly surrounded by violence and sadness. This surrounding them was constantly expressed within the children, for example, the children would often act out violently, speak about how they want many guns and they spoke about witnessing violent acts as casual and relaxed. Overall, this film depicted the possible consequences that homelessness has on children. In my opinion, the film also showed how specific classifications of what it means to be homeless, are missing the mark. These definitions do not include these children and families but after watching this film, it is obvious that these children are homeless.
