unlabelledView post →Dead Poet's Society is a terrible film. As a baby Graduate Student Instructor, I paired it with Stand and Deliver to interrogate (with mixed success) how ideas about race and class inform what we might consider the goals of education. Carpe Diem for the privileged, ganas and sacrifice for the poor.
unlabelledView post →Absolutely unhinged movie. Imagine if Stand And Deliver or Dangerous Minds turned into Death Wish 3 for the third act. It spawned a bunch of DTV sequels with Treat Williams.

unlabelledView post →If he can't read, how do we expect him to know math too? I'm sure he saw "Stand and Deliver" movie back in the 1980s and didn't like the fact that Latino high schoolers knew more math than he did. Hence his immigration policies.

Apparently he is supposed to be around my age in the movie. *Sigh* I suppose it's time that I hang up the band shirts and start dressing up like this. I need to accept my fate. I guess I'll be hitting the clothing shops this weekend.
unlabelledView post →Every teacher I know has a teacher movie they love. "Dangerous Minds", ""Lean on Me", "Stand and Deliver" or "Freedom Writers" are what I usually hear. My teacher movie is "Sunmer School". He just wants to connect with his students and is all about their growth.
