Such an educating movie! Human needs discipline, etiquette. This is said based on the revolutions and civilizations that our species has gone through. Mr. Joe Clark wants his students to be such. As the newly appointed principal of Eastside High School, Mr. Clark was obliged to be correct the whole system of the school.
His capability and intelligence in managing the rebelious students is definitely laudable. The line 'Students will behave like animals if you treat them as one', is really a meaningful one. Teachers need to be exemplary.
This movie is so associated with me. We, teachers are given the responsibility to educate the young generation. The current generation is our 'hope' and the duty of raising up this 'hope' is ours. We are very powerful and we are the agent of change. The metamorphosis of this current generation into a civilised one lie on us. Together we can create history,so lean on me!

ReplyDeleteThere are so many movies out there dealing with the problem of kids not learning anything in schools, and dropping out, ending up in a life of crime, or dead. But this movie came out at a time when these movies weren't so commonplace. Morgan Freeman plays Joe Clark, who has been recruited as principal of a once proud school, but one which has been overrun with hoodlums for years. The teachers are powerless to do anything, and the kids fall through the cracks. It’s Clark's job to restore the reputation of the school and get the kids learning again. The movie is inspirational, for sure, and the commanding presence of Morgan Freeman lends it a lot of legitimacy. The only problem I found was that it is a bit long, and a few of the songs are a bit too sappy. But that's just my opinion. It’s still a good movie. Joe Clark rocks!
