H.W #49

I think the idea of are movie was a good idea, because a lot of student likes there teachers and like to help them if they have any bad things going on in there life, because teachers are helping us to become better people and with out teachers there would be no tomorrow and no future.

The movie we made in class is (this teacher that snort cocaine and get caught by his students and they ask him to stop it and he does for a little while and after a while they caught him again doing it but he promise them again that he wont do it, and in the end the teacher close brother dies and it really effects on him)
I think are movie message was to show how there is some students that still care about their teachers and like them, and that the relationship between the teacher and the student can be a friendship relationship.

The differences between he film we made in class and the movie we watched “freedom riders” that in are movie we are showing that the students is helping the teacher but the “freedom riders” the teacher helps the students in there problems.

I connect are movie to are general life that there is always someone there in life to help people that are feeling not good and try to help people by telling them to stop doing the bad habits (like how the students helped the teacher to stop snorting cocaine) and I think its always worth the try to help people that have bad habits even if were believing it wont work.

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGMENT

The movie “the class” is showing how it is in class for both sides the student and the teacher, and its showing that in class the troublemaker of the class are always sitting in the back of the class and those or one student is the student that the teachers be talking about like Suleiman in this movie and they talk about what they can do so this kid can do better.

The movie started where the teachers welcoming each other for the new year there starting and then the teachers starts to talk about themselves and what they teach, from the behavior of the students in class I noticed that they were not interested in school and one of the girls was showing attitude to the teacher like in that part were the teacher asked them to write there names and this girl told him “I wont wrote my name, if your not writing your name” like that’s not a way to speak to a teacher with.

To answer your question “Do you hold the teacher responsible for the damage done to Suleiman?” I don’t think MR. martin is responsible for the damage done to Suleiman, and if MR. martin had to find ways to deal with Suleiman I don’t think it would be easy for him, because Suleiman don’t let the class know about him that much so how can the teacher know how to deal with him if he doesn’t know the way he think, I liked when the MR. martin put Suleiman pictures on the board so everyone can see, Suleiman was saying “ ohh there not good” and the MR. martin was like “no you have good work” and you can tell that Suleiman liked it that the teacher had his pictures on the board so everyone can see them even though he was saying “ oh don’t put them on the board”. This way from the teacher makes this type of students think that there doing good work, and it makes the student feel like doing more work and probable even think of doing homework.
I don’t think a 14-15 years old are responsible for their own choices , they might know what’s right and what’s wrong but even if they know themselves doing something wrong but there having fun then there okay with it, like as an example playing video games and not doing homework

In the beginning of the movie the principle was welcoming the student in front of the class, it reminded me of how MR, fanning be in the lobby every morning, and another thing got me thinking of SOF is when they compared students with Wei, it got me thinking of how some teachers in school compare us to other school student as the other school is better than us.
Overall I enjoyed watching this movie and it got me thinking of the situation and relate to it.

Scene one
Student are waiting in front of there class’s to go in with the new cloths on and you can see it on there face’s that there so excited for the new year. The class starts so they go in the classroom. And the teacher starts taking about what there going to do on this semester and a normal class period goes on.

Scene two
Students go from there first class to there second class and where there is a new teacher is going to teach them that subject, they go in and the teacher introduce her self to the class and tells them what there doing this semester and her techniques in teaching this certain subject.

Scene three
The new teacher thinks that she got the class under control based on there behavior on the first day. But the second day when the teacher started teaching, side conversation goes on and students not behave anymore, she tries to get the class under control but it doesn’t work with her.

Scene four
It shows the new teacher asking other teachers in the school how she could relate more with students or connect more with them and what can brings there attention to her, and other teachers tells her to try and talk about grades and how if they don’t listen to her they wont graduate and another trick was to bring candy and who ever answer her questions right, she gives him a piece of candy.
And she tries those tricks and it becomes that the candy trick works better with the students, but they are still not like how the teacher wants them to be in class.

Scene five
This scene should focus on students more than teachers so we can see how the students feels, and there will be love going on or crushes between student in class that causes fight. I think the crushes and love and fighting between student, makes the film more interesting to watch.

Scene six.
In this scene a guy comes from outside the school and see how the school is running and how’s the new teacher doing

Scene seven
The students start to like the teacher with the time and everything goes well and that would be the ending.

-1 Students are un-behaving in class in the beginning!
-2 There should be a class punk!
-3 There is a class leader or student leader!
-4 Teacher tries to be tough in the beginning but it doesn’t work and they try to get closer to the class leader as another choice and then it works.
-5 There should be comedy going on so it be nice to watch.
-6 Students in the end start to behave and they start to study and do homework which they didn’t from before!

The chocolate war by Robert Cormier is talking about a boy name jerry Renault who goes to a same sex school, and that school has a gang that named the vigils and that lead by Archie Costello, Archie gives homework assignments to boys in the school and Jerrys homework assignment was to sell a number of chocolate box’s , the gang decided to stop Jerry’s assignment, but he refused and they decided to make his life terrible , they did many terrible stuff to him, like calling his house and getting rid of his homework and even beating him up…

In chapter 7 it shows that Emile Janza is the school thug., Janza a proud trouble maker, sits in the front of classrooms instead of the back, always messing with people asking for trouble, largely because he knows most people to avoid it.
I connect this to my topic(comparing same sex school to mix school) on how boys act in same sex school and mix school as thugs.

From my own experience I saw that in same sex all what boys care about is who’s the tougher than the other since there is no girls in the same class to pay more attention to them more than being tough on my friends and being able to beat everyone or hanging out with the toughest guys.
But in mix school boys care about being around the cutest girls or having the cutest girlfriend in the school more than being tough on kids from my school(thinking of the other sex ”girls” makes the boys not think of being tough or beating up other students) . There is probably some guys like that in mix school but not as much as same sex school.
