positive · AI labelView post →🧵 Valuable Thread! Makes me think of the movie "Bad Apples", which satirises the state of education today (the way we're fuckin' up kids by not caring that everyone gets equitable access to education... & how the burden can't just be on teachers, but start with parents/the world that nurtures them).

positive · AI labelView post →Saw BAD APPLES tonight. Spent the whole film squirming in my seat while also laughing my head off. It's SCHOOL OF ROCK's evil twin, for a very specific scene that would be a plot spoiler to discuss. Saoirse Ronan is incredible, the script is fantastic and, my god, those kids!!!!
