- Lean on me - The review.

An arrogant and unorthodox teacher returns as principal to the idyllic high school from which he had earlier been fired to find it a den of drug abuse, gang violence, and urban despair. Eventually his successful but unorthodox methods lead to a clash with city officials that threatens to undo all his efforts. Based on a true story. courtesy of imdb written by Keith Loh.

Here is my reflection on question posted for tutorial.

1. What do you think of the movie in term of entertainment value?

Another great movie based on a true story that very honest in delivering the message to all American during that period of time. for me, the movie really gives the entertainment value despite the heavy message that they try to deliver. there is a time in this movie that gives a laughter to the audience eventhough it was meant a serious bussines. All in all this is a great movie and off course Morgan Freeman in it. =)

2. How does it affect you as you are taking B.ed Tesl course now?

It affected me in a way that i knew that i have to be prepare for a situation like that. it is not easy to handle a school with so much problem in one place.

3. How does it affect you if you relate the story in the movie to the teachers whom you know in the past?

Cikgu disiplin. the only teacher in school that used almost the same method to guide their students. i have never came across such principle like Mr. Joe Clark maybe in the future ill be one. =)

4. What kind of practical / theoretical lesson that you learned after viewing this movie?
this explain everything...quotes from Mr. Joe Clark
"If we treat our students like animals, that's exactly how they'll behave"
