Weekend Billboard

undefined undefined

For this weekend we recommend you the movie
"Dangerous Minds"

This is a very interesting film about a teacher faced to a group of students
unmotivated and with a lot of personal and academical problems. This movie also is inspired on the book with the same name.

In order to get your attention about this story we chose randomly chapters 7 to 11 to summarize key aspects of the book.

Chapters 7-11
Through these episodes we can see Miss J. performance into the summer courses.
This has been a difficult situation for her because she has faced several unpleasant situations with some students who have had a very rude attitude in classes. Also these chapters show clearly the commitment and interest of the teacher to students, not only academically speaking, but also on personal aspects in students lives. She was all the time concerned about each one of them.
This movie will allow us to realize the hard work of being a teacher and despite the unwillingness of a few group of students, specially those ones of P class must represent a challenge and not be see as a hopeless case.
Despite all the bad prejudices that we might have with students like Troy Jones, Danny Morton and Hakim, there is always a possibility of teaching them.
You'll also have the chance to get to know in a better way students behavior and problems like violence, self-esteem, segregation by ethnic groups and above all Motivation.
You can learn a lot to the bravery of this woman, Miss Johnson, for faceing all these situations with quietness and intelligence.
She'll also have to face new tendencies like gothic student.

This and more conflicts are part of this excellent film.

We invite you to discover how this story ends, either renting the movie or buying the book.
Both are interesting proposals to enjoythis weekend!

See you next week with more about "Weekend Billboard"!
