The Breakfast Club, written and directed by John Hughes in 1985, is an American teen drama. One of the most influential movies of its time The Breakfast Club was named the best high school movie of all time by Entertainment Weekly in 2006. The Breakfast Club is a prime example of Popular Culture in the way that it depicts teens from every demographic in a typical high school setting i.e. the brain, the criminal, the jock, the princess and the basket case. The movie is easy to identify with because most of us can find something in common with at least one of the characters because they have made them relatable through clothing, language, music and attitude.
The one man committee, during the interrogation with students and staff found that there are many problems in the college which have not come out earlier. The students were unhappy with the teaching offered at the college. It was found that the results are also poor and the pass percentage has been decreasing over the years. When enquired about the reason for this the staff and students were blaming each other. It was noticed that even among staff there is no co-ordination.
Since Janet couldn’t make it to meetings they gave her what was “left over” and didn’t even keep her in mind. Janet was a hard worker and wanted to contribute to the group, but since she had been pre classified by her group she couldn’t fit in the way she wanted to. Life was basically a struggle for Janet and being in a group that did not consider her struggle made her feel more alone than ever. She finally snapped over the cafeteria incident. She stopped to get something to eat and saw her whole group meeting without her, she felt extremely unappreciated and knew the group members didn’t respect her contributions.
And lastly, Tyrone resents taking on a family, because it kept him from making his “big break” as an actor. In the beginning it is obvious to see that the Tyrone family lives differently than most other families. For one their house has many unused and unlived in rooms. On top of that the family is always in a tailspin of emotions. One minute joking and teasing and the next fighting and yelling.
In the east wing, the most popular games were jenga, bingo, and imaginary play. In the east wing however, card games were much more popular, we played many games of speed, b.s., and kings corner. Outside of playing games I was also able to have a variety of different conversations with patients from both side, it was fun to laugh and joke, but to also hear their stories. It was always an enjoyable experience and I was glad that my time there was helpful to the staff and gave the kids a new ear to listen, a new voice to hear, and a new person to interact with for a while. During my time at Prairie St. John’s I learned a lot about myself, my misconceptions, and about a few of the patients through hearing their stories.
Finally, there comes PE, the worst part of the day for you. The coaches don't want to let you play and if they do, they don't let you do what the other students are doing even though you know you are capable of doing what they can do. When lunch hits, nobody wants to talk to you or sit by you. You are just in the corner, feeling disgusted yet again. The school day finally ends and you are feeling relieved.
When I just arrived in Australia, everything is terrible for me. Everyday has many challenges for me. When I got into my school, I did not know anyone from there. I had no friends. Also at the start, I was so lonely and did everything by myself because I scared of talk to others.
If the student has learning disabilities, they will not tell anybody because they are too embarrassed to mention them and they struggle throughout school; they don’t ask for help. The second reason that high school grads are unable to read is failure of school systems. Schools are overpopulated and crowded and ones that are in large populated areas are more focused on academic functions then the curriculum of learning. They don’t have enough teachers or teacher’s assistants to give each individual one on one time to learn the material. Students don’t have that support from the teacher that they need to succeed in school.
In the long run, a struggling or confused student does not benefit anyone. In my courses I have already seen a majority of the students I know drop out or just stop coming to class because they are afraid of the struggles waiting for them in the near future. Based on the
According to several studies homework is no good for kids. They say that that there's too much pressure on young people today, both from parents, but also from society, school, and even our own friends. Several studies have been made on the effect of homework as well, and almost none of them are giving a clear sign that homework really helps. None
