H.w 49

Our class did not successfully complete our movie so instead I watched Esthers Class film. But for our film I heard and read other peoples blogs about it and it would have been really cool if we finished it because it was different. From my understanding in our film the moral was to try and you will succeed. What you put in is what comes out at the end.
In the film the teacher is an alcoholic and dreams about being a teacher that changes the lives of his students likes most of the savior/teacher films we watched in class. Instead when he wakes up, he is rude to his students and was not teaching at all. It feels as if the reason he left is because he didn’t succeed in teaching like in his dream.
This is different but similar to some of the films we watched. Its very similar to Dead poets society because in the teachers dream he tried to change his students life with poetry. The major difference in this film compared to others is that the teachers never left their students life. He walked out the classroom indicating he does not care what they learn or what ever they do because he doesn’t even want to be there. In all if the savior/teacher films, the teachers did not bring their own problems into class and walking out on them was the last thing the even thought about. But wait another difference in this film the kids actually want to learn which were not how the students were in the films we seen. The roles were switched.
I cannot speak for our society but in School of the future the teachers want us to pass. They teach us for the future and now. They do try to change our lives by making us think in different ways and I do respect that. There was a time where a teacher did stop teaching when the class got out of control. When that happened a student who wanted to learn yelled (This is very common in our classes) for the class to chill. Basically this scenario was most common in all of the savior/teacher films. The class listened to a classmate who was the leader. I feel like teachers teach for a reason but I think teachers need to teach how to learn.
