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.

There was this fashion teacher name "A Pimp Name Slickback" and he was all about looking good and wearing all the popular name brand clothes. He was the most popular fashion teacher in all 50 states including Puerto Rico. He was known for showing students the good way how to dress and the best fashion to model.

His next job was at a school in New York and when the students found out he was going to be their new fashion teacher they were excited and came in wearing some of their best outfits the first day of class. As "A Pimp Name Slickback" walked in with his assistant the students were at salute and all smiles as he walked to his desk. One thing about him was that he didn't grade students on class work or anything he just grades them depending on what they wore to class that day and if he liked it.

After 2 years working at the school "A Pimp Name Slickback" came up with his own name brand called APNS (A Pimp Name Slickback) and for him already being a famous fashion idol people bought his clothing line like little kids in the store wanting candy. When he notice his clothing line doing so well he retired as a teacher and now lives in California with his assistant.

In my book "the curious incident of the dog in the night - time" the main character seemed confused at times but he knew what was going on. He knew what was right from wrong, in the beginning of the book he slapped a cop because he wouldn't stop asking him questions. So he got nervous and slapped him and the cop asked him if he knew what he did was wrong and he said yes but he never nobody the reasoning on why he slapped the cop. He was a only child and his mother died a while back so he thinks about her a lot and wish she was still there.

This text relates to my topic because it shows how kids or students can be taught anything that involves real life scenario or can affect them in the real world. If someone else was to read this book they would be confused on why he did all these things and what was he thinking. But also realize what he was doing and didn't feel bad about it.

Big thoughts on school? School is in our presence because us as students can't do anything about it. Our ideas and opinions on school mean nothing because to adults it is just a way of getting out of school or not to learn certain things. But I think if school was taking seriously by higher power then they would realize, there are certain things we are learning that we would not need in real life depending on or career decisions and I think that should enable us to learn things that we want to not what other people want to teach us. Then we as students would think there is a better purpose in school and would look forward to learn something the next day.

In the future hopefully someone would figure it out and try to make a change to the things students are taught in school. It is not too late to make the change because there is still a whole bunch of generation left to get those students influenced to go to school. If someone could convince the high power to change up the lessons in classes and teach more real life things that we need to learn as we get older and go into the real world then the younger generation would be coming out of school more wiser and being able to tell a good deal from a bad one without making a mistake once or twice to figure out the right way to go.

In Obama's speech I like how he pointed out the small things that every kid goes through every new year when school comes back around. Also when he compares his self to every thing and how he would have to wake earlier than any other kid would have to just to get home school by his mother. Having the President make a speech like that can influence kids to go to school because it would probably make them think that if the President can go through such a hard time like that and succeed it something that big so can I.

His speech also affects the teachers because the teacher would probably like to reach standards and try to inspire the kids more to learn. So going into the new school year a lot of teachers would probably change their teaching styles to make their students want to learn more. But the teachers are as nervous as the students are because they don't know too much about their new students and how easy can they learn. Or if they could keep up with their teaching style and this affects the teachers because it makes the teachers feel that they not doing enough to make their students learn.

On the liberal arts article the opening question is a question we hear every time we study shakespeare and I agree "How will studying Shakespeare or cell biology or modern art help me get a job?" I'm confused because can I go to a job interview and say am familiar with shakespeare I understand every single word in all his plays. Would I get a job much more easier that way? I don't think so, business companies could careless about that. So I think learning shakespeare plays is pointless.

Aarie

Why do you think school starts at 8:30 instead of 9:30?
I don't know but the only reason I go on time is cause my grandmother always wake me up early. If it wasn't for her I would be late everyday cause I would sleep until about 9

Do you like what you are being taught in school? why or why not?
I don't know what they teach in that school I just go because I have to

Chris

When you was in High school would you of like school to start at 9:30 instead of 8:30?
It wouldn't really matter to me because regardless of the fact you still have to wake up early but I think that extra hour of sleep would of been solid

Is the college lesson different from the High school lesson and in what ways?
Its not that much different I'm just learning more advance stuff than I did in High school

Daniel

When you was in school were you always on time? Why?
No because I never felt like waking up it was too early for me

Were you interested in the lessons? Why or not?
They were alright I just did what I had to do to get up out of there

Edgar

Do you like the fact of school starting so early? Why?
No its to early but sometimes I could deal with it and other times I don't feel like getting up

What interest you the most about school?
Nothing really its just the same thing but different days

What I find interesting about school is how teachers can go through this everyday. They teach the same people everyday and deal with all the fooling around and don't annoyed and want to choke somebody. I think if I was a teacher I would have to kill somebody because I can't take the same things everyday.
