After reading the reflection, I have a lot of insights. A good leader must have the majesty of an iron fist and the thoughtfulness of mutual understanding. How to be loved by others is nothing more than a heart-to-heart, for the sake of the other party, and truly for the other party. In addition to negative benchmarks to set an example, set positive benchmarks for reference, clear rewards and punishments, lead by example, follow through, and be considerate of each other. This is the magic...

A truly great principal - Clark! Teaching and educating people requires such a person to manage, the plot is good, Uncle Morgan's acting is excellent, and seeing the back is very moving! (Xianer must have watched the whole film with me, I was planning to watch it later, we have so many good movies... I love...

Education is always a work that requires conscience. As a beneficiary of an iron-fisted principal, after the turmoil of adolescence, I am actually very grateful to the teachers I met in middle school. For us, the most basic and most needed things, like a kind of thorny love, must have the ability to master life before thinking about poetry and the distance. I didn’t expect that America, a beacon of development with liberal democracy, turned out to be like...

A very good movie, especially the part where the principal organizes the school. It is not an easy task to keep such a school tidy. When the school can be kept tidy, the principal is half...

The grand jury has no score? A small introduction introduces this film, but I did not expect it to be written by Elwesson. Freeman was arrested on the charge of "violating the freedom of students". In the end, the students took to the streets to parade. Freeman persuaded them to leave, saying "believe in the law". All final exam results were passed. He also scolded the mayor. The world wouldn't be so bad if it was true for the education of the common people. Is this film left or right? It is...

3.5 stars because I didn't fully understand the ending because there are no subtitles, it's a bit unexpected, but it would be nice if the student part was a little...

Joe Clark: [addressing his students in the auditorium] All right, people, here we are. In one hour, you will take an exam administered by the State to test your basic skills... along with the quality of education at Eastside High. Before that, I want to tell you what many people are saying about you, and what they think about your chances. They say that you're inferior! That you are just a bunch of niggers and spics and poor white trash! That education is wasted on you! That you cannot learn! That you're lost, all of you! So I want all the white students to stand up. All of my white students, stand up! Come on, don't be shy. Stand up!
[They all do so]
Joe Clark: These are my white pupils; as you can see, they're the same as everybody else! They've got no other place to go. Otherwise, they'd have abandoned us a long time ago, just like everybody else did! So here they are at Eastside High, with the rest of us. You can sit down.
[the white kids take their seats]
Joe Clark: Are you getting my point, people? Am I getting through to you? Whether we sink or we swim, whether we rise or we fall, WE MEET OUR FATE TOGETHER!
[He indicates Ms. Levias, whom he has just dismissed from Eastside on her request]
Joe Clark: Now, it took the help of a very good friend to make me know and understand that. And I do understand that, and I'm grateful. I'm eternally grateful... And now, I've got a message for all those people out there who've abandoned you and written you off! Can you hear me? Good! You are NOT INFERIOR! Your *grades* may be. Your *school* may have been. But you can turn that around, and make liars out of those bastards, in exactly one hour... by taking that test, and passing it! So, here's what I want you to do: Whenever you find your thoughts wandering - and don't say that's not gonna happen - I want you to KNUCKLE BACK DOWN! Remind yourselves what's at stake, and show what Eastside High is all about!
