hello dears class mate this time, i´m writing about a movie that I think that is a beautiful story with a great teaching.
"Dangerous Minds" It´s about another one of those parables in which the dedicated teacher takes on a schoolroom full of rebellious with a high degree of aggressivity, and wins them over with an unorthodox approach. this movie is based on a real story.
An ex-Marine who applies for a teaching job and is hired on the spot, to teach in a school when the student are divided on two group, she is assigned to work with young "made up of special kids, passionately challenging." or how said a fellow teacher: "These are bright kids, with little or no educational skills, and what we politely refer to as social problems, they are Rebels from hell.
When She enters the classroom and is immediately hooted down by a scornful class of African-American and Hispanic students who call her "white bread." One day after a terrible reception from the students, she tries unconventional methods of teaching (using karate, Bob Dylan lyrics etc) to gain the trust of the students.
She involves them in the words of that important poet, Bob Dylan saying (the Tambourine Man might have been a drug dealer!). Soon they're in the school library, finding connections between Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas. (First prize: dinner with the teacher in the nicest restaurant in Palo Alto.)
Today reading the comements and other blogs i saw that I did not the questionary, but ofcurse i have some question for you.
1° Think you that a teacher can change the his students life? yes or not? explain you answer.
2° If you have the oportunity to work with a group of rebelous students, but you don´t know that they are rebelds, to realize that students are virtually indomitable ¿what would you do?
3° ¿ how you expect to be your firts teacher job, and you believe tha it is possible?
Hello Martín, good movie although we have never watched it :') Good for the images but you forgot post the three questions about the movie.

ReplyDeleteIt a lovely post but there's no a quest to answer.
The movie looks interesting, it's nice to understand context of education in different countries, perhaps you must update the post by adding the questions gentleman
