Our class video was lost and could not be found so we had to watch Esther's class video and I think the message of the film was that there comes a point where a teacher can't take it anymore. In the video it shows the being disrespected by the students and they not caring that the teacher is in the room. That compares to one of the movies we watch where on the teachers first day the students show no care in the teacher being in the room and continue on what they are doing. This shows the teachers have no power and the students can do whatever they want.

In the film on the second day it shows the teacher couldn't take it anymore and he got drunk and told each student what was on his mind. That shows how powerless he was because he couldn't take the fact that the students wouldn't listen to him and he couldn't stop them from talking. This also compares to the same movie because when the teacher came on her first day and saw how bad the students were she wanted to quit there because she couldn't handle it. If classes were really like that and there was a option for the teacher to quit and not come back I think they would quit because no teacher would want to teach a class like that where the students are not easy to control

If any films came from the point of view of the parents and how bad their kids are doing in school I think they would blame it on the teachers because the teachers are suppose to keep the kids "under control". The reason the parents would blame the teachers is because they don't really know what is going on in the classes and how bad the students treat the teacher. If the teachers were aware then I think the students would have a different approach in school and then the teacher would have more control over the students.
