Recommend a movie, Detachment. This is a film made in the United States in 2010, when the American environment was still under the influence of the 2008 economic crisis. The film tells the story of a substitute teacher, but in this story, it shows the various problems encountered by parents of students in the school. It is also worthy of our deep consideration and consideration.
I'll illustrate the problem from the stories of a few of these shots.
On the first day of class, the substitute teacher encountered a child scolding him, but he was very clever and used witty language to alleviate the embarrassment and gave the students steps down so that they could go to class smoothly. The substitute teacher's school is the worst-rated school in the state, where there are daily fights. For different problems, different students and different teachers will have different results, and some teachers have no momentum, begging students to come to listen to the lectures every day, but no students listen to his words. Some teachers will be scolded in front of the face by the students and then spit on the teacher's face. Some teachers have great experience in struggle and are good at using humorous language to dissolve the malicious language of young people, but they eat sedatives behind their backs to relieve his huge pressure. There are even students who abuse animals.
So because of the above reasons, the school will invite parents to come to the school, but the result is also useless, parents do not know what mistakes the child has made, think that the child's performance is normal, abnormal is the school teacher and children other than his children. And parents who come to school will say that the teacher asked them to come to school to bring him a lot of trouble and delay his work. Parents believe that educating children is a teacher's problem and has nothing to do with parents. If a student makes a bigger mistake and is expelled from school, then the next day the parents will bring their children to the school, saying that the school is completely against them as racist (in the original movie, a black girl was expelled for scolding the teacher and the student), and then the parents will play out again with the teacher who expelled her child.
There are some very thought-provoking dialogues in the expulsion of parents from school.
Parent of the expelled girl: Is it you bitch who expelled my daughter? Why?
The female teacher Nono said: I'm sorry, we can. (Interrupted)
Parents of expelled girls: Because you can't teach well? So what are you doing here with this bitch? Do you want to stay at home with him every day? I don't have time to deal with him.
Then other teachers took the girl's parents and girls elsewhere. And this is scolding the female teacher in front of the girl, and the final result is to come back and continue the class.
From the course of her speech, we have four understandings: One is that the girl's lack of respect for the teacher is actually learned from her parents. On the other hand, parents do not care about their children at all, and putting their children in school can escape the education of their children. The third aspect is that the children's problems are the problems of the teacher's poor teaching, that is, we often say that there is no... only.... Fortunately, Americans will not say this, it is estimated that this Tony director does not know this famous Chinese saying, otherwise it can be put into this movie. Fourth, whether the child is wrong or not, whether he will be expelled, the parents have the final say.
So this movie said such a passage with the help of the male protagonist's mouth.
Male protagonist: Those who want to be parents should first go to class to learn how to be parents.
The profundity of this film does not completely blame the problems of teenagers on the inaction of parents. The film also addresses another level of issue, the impact of society. The collapse of the adolescent world is essentially the collapse of the adult world. Because for children, the younger they are, the more they like and are good at imitation. The film uses an example to illustrate the problems of the adult world. One at a time, A U.S. government official distributed educational materials to schools. His arrival was well-intentioned and aimed at improving the quality of teaching at the school. But when he gave the teachers a meeting, he unconsciously talked about real estate. His real purpose is that if the quality of teaching is good, there will be a lot of people in the area, and real estate will sell a lot better. His core is not how to teach well, but for the economic benefit of real estate. The general environment of American society at that time was also not good. The United States has not completely eased up from the economic crisis in 2008, which has also led to the pressure of children's parents, the difficulty of life, and the way and method of children are simple and rude. This is the template that adults show to teenagers. It is also another source of problems for students at the school. So when you look at the teen problem again, you can see if there is this template in the adult world, in fact, you can understand the problem very well.
At the end of the writing, I really hope that everyone will go to see this movie. The director really has a level and a mind, although the director is really called Tony. But Tony, who is really not a head-cutter, can also make movies.
