Back-to-school season is a great time to reinforce the life lessons that are taught outside the classroom. Stuff like sharing, kindness, understanding and acceptance is what makes us who we are when we get older.  Teaching the values of kindness and acceptance are as important as any academic learnings.

This month, we’re taking a cue from Derek – star of the Netflix original series, Derek. Emmy-nominated series creator and star Ricky Gervais is Derek Noakes, a loyal English nursing home caretaker who sees only the good in everyone. Derek’s sunny outlook comes in handy with his quirky coworkers, eccentric friends and the elderly residents who depend on him in this heartwarming, mockumentary style comedy-drama costarring Karl Pilkington and Kerry Godliman.
