i did not have any contribution to the film because i was hardly in class to even be part of it.

i think the message of our film is to show that it can not always be the teacher that saves us but we can save the teacher.

most of the movies we watch was the teacher saving kids but this time it was the kids saving the teacher.

in our culture it always seems that the teacher is going to save us by teaching us certain things but if the class is bad like it was in the films we saw that would not work they have to connect to us by getting to know us not by boring us with work.

Tyrone Gibbs is fresh out of college right into a teaching job. he does not know what to do, his first day he did not have a game plan for the work that the students will have to do so he went in with a blank mind. the kids ask him are we going to learn anything an he answer what will you like to learn. The students say well   you do not seem like you know what you are doing. the students take the class over an teaches each other. the leader of the students say no do not show him what to do because if you do he will just try to make it seem like he is more in power(the leader is a female), the students listen for a few days after the teacher breaks the leader the students get back to teaching. he learns from the students an notice that they only teach things that is relovent to high school students an out side life, but nothing that has to do with the school corikulam. the teacher gets in trouble for not doing his job but he says no i will not they seem like they are doing well with what they are learning an they should keep doing it. by the time the students have thought the teacher all they know he is ready to teach them what he knows. at the end of the movie the teacher an students learned things from each other an they move on to be success full in life the teach is still teaching things that are important in real life situations an the students say that the class comes in handy.

my idea for my movie is that instead of the super teacher coming to save the class it will be the other way around. where the teacher is a new teacher or a bad teacher in genaral an the class has to teach the teach how to be a good teacher. it will have a sort of the sensay being thought by the grass hopper type vibe. the class will be a mix of different races of students an from every race the teacher will be thought something that he can use in the next year he teach.

SIZER ARTICLE 
the article is based on sizers accomplishments in life. i agree with Yazmin who says that one size fits all education is not true because everybody learns at there own pace some people learn the material an some do not. an i also agree with her saying that schools should not be limited by the tests they should be able to learn an do more things such as the exhibition.


HIRSCH ARTICLE
this article is also article based off his life. i disagree with him saying that students should learn the same thing because it not everybody wants to do the same thing. life would be boring if everybody wants to be the same thing. it is ok to learn the same thing until a certain age like the basics but its not good for older people. so i disagree with his thoughts.

i would have to agree with sizers thoughts only because s.o.f is sort of based off his thoughts an i also did learn a lot in this school compared to my friends school. when i talk to my friends about writing a certain page paper they always so yo this is going to take for ever to write but with me i can write a 8 page paper easy because of all the writing we do in this school an also exhibition. i think its better to do the paper than to take a test that determines your life such as the regents you learn a whole lot more.

well it seems for the speech that obama was basicly saying that we do not have it bad we have it easy because he had to be up at 4 am to wake up an go to school thought by his mom. it is also put in our heads how we have to take responibilty for our own education.


being in a diverst school is not bad but our school is weird. i will to agree with chloe on this our school is in the city but we can not afford cups or trays for lunch. every year the food get worst an the lunch room get cheaper. an i also have to agree with her saying that we have to learn the things we are learning in math because it is so called important to our lifes later on but if you ask anybody that grad do they use the math that they learned in high school they would say no. so alot of the things we are learning in school is pointless. we should be thought things that we are going to use in life. such as how to use your hands an also things that have to do with stuff that we wanna prosue in our life.

A.Why does it matter to you personally given the experiences you've had in your life - in terms of your feelings, hopes, memories, daily life?

it matters to me because when i always younger still in s.o.f i always told my parents that my school is different from other schools an that our work an schooling system is different than it was back when they were in school. they think that if i pass every class that i can walk in graduation but with our school we have to pass all the classes an pass the exhibiton. you could pass all your classes but if you fail the exhibtion you will not walk in graduation but they do not seem to get that. an also our life time it is so easy to do hw an research because everybody has a computer now an cell phones that can do anything now. with our school how it is we are very different because we do different things than other schools.

B.How does your topic matter existentially - in terms of the meaning of your life, of knowing who you are, of whether you live well before you die?

i think my topic does matter because when we have kids our kids are going to say the same things to us. an also they will ask us how the school was back when we was growing up. but since we are focused on this topic now we will not be so lost like our parents are with us right now because we will understand that times are changing an every year more digital things come out with makes our generation seem more technical an sort of lazy because our life are based off computers.

How has education has changed in last thirty years?

 

I think education has changed dramatically over the past 30 years. For example, we have more money for textbooks, we have more technology, we can give the students the help that they need, and we can even afford to enroll them in music, and extra tutoring for the students that need the extra help.


There are also new and improved, and more advanced college courses for young adults in college, if their not quite ready, but they are too advanced for the regular classes. these are all reasons of why our education has improved. Also, most schools now a days have more security programs and anti- smoking/ anti-bullying programs. And we have more security cameras in the hallways at school and on the bus. an we also have computers that can do the work for use such as look up information instead of going through all the text books in the world to find one thing
