HW 49-Notes on Finishing Our School Unit.

Well what my personal contribution to the class film was being a "class goon". What i basically took part in was being a member of a certain group of kids that you see in every high school, the punks. These kids who are pretty much just plain out disrespectful don't get their work done and don't care what the teachers tells them to do or say, they just think they know it all,they think their too cool for school. Well so I played one of these kids and I feel I played it pretty well in the film our class made. When we were shooting the team of goons was Evan, Omar, Quinn, and me who were causing trouble in the class room in the two scenes. When Will who was playing the main character Mr. C the alcoholic teacher who lost his wife was attempting to teach the class this was when we would act up and cause problems in the classroom. But this would be halted for a brief minute every time when he would actually stop teaching and try to bring some realization into our lives. He would do this by talking about the way we use electronic devices to constantly stay in touch with our friends and for numerous other things. He would try to make us realize what would happen to us in our lives if we would continue to do what we do in school now by scaring us by basically depicting a prediction our futures to be the lives of criminals, low lives, who are most likely to end up in jail. What i believe is the message of our film is that what you do in your school life is going to reflect on your future of what you do in life, its gunna mold you into what you will become in the future.

This film partly has connections to all of our past Savior Teacher films that we watched. For instance one aspect that our film had was that during the film was the classic trope of the classroom full of the disruptive out of control students whom don't seem to care or even acknowledge the teacher when he or she is trying to acquire the classes attention. As seen in pretty much every movie clip we watched for instance Black Board Jungle, Dead Poets Society, Freedom Writers, etc... But although our film connected to these other Savior films that I have said what I fell that it didn't connect to was the extent of the extremely troubled teacher like Mr. C in our film who was a drunk and had both relationship and family problems. In spite of this connection I believe that salvation can only be found in teaching and schooling if the teacher or student truly wants to open up their mind and learn and/or teach what they honestly want to. But sadly I have to say that this is hardly possible with the schooling and teaching system that we have currently in our lives, it's based too much on what the Board of Education wants to dictate to us and what they think that we need to know to be successful in our lives. As well the society in our time is too dead bent on the straight schooling agenda that the Board of Education has in place to us which is the reason we can never have a chance to accomplish an actual true and honest learning experience that interests us. Until our society stops depending our basic marshal law of schooling that the government has for us we will not be able to change our system to further better our ways of truly learning what we are honestly interested in.
