Bad Education: Another example of how ideals are easily corrupted by money, this time by teachers

Always appear in a straight suit in front of students, colleagues, and book friends. Elegant cologne perfume and diet drinks highlight the sense of luxury in life. Flying to the world in first class for a holiday life, do you envy it? But all this was stolen from the school's public funds.

Through decades of hard work in the school, Frank and Pan used unsolicited school funds and fake suppliers to steal a huge amount of stolen money from the school during their ten years of high management. They use the money to live a luxurious life and support their families, same-sex partners and lovers.

Hello teacher! well-dressed individualistic vanity

The scary part is that this is not a non-fiction film; the sad part is that such a story should not be an isolated case.

From the tens of dollars spent at the beginning of the period, no one cared about it, and then to the hundreds of thousands of corruption at the tip of the iceberg, the school's top management collectively lost their voices. Just like the title of the film "Bad Education", it really makes us shudder at the illegal teachers who teach and educate people.

But I believe that when they first stepped into the ranks of teachers, they all regarded educating people as their lifelong mission: trying to remember every student's name, making the school's achievements rapidly improve, and using methods to enable every student to learn. They do have admirable abilities when it comes to education. But the ability is true, and the clumsy character is also true. Even if he uses the good wishes that the world approves to achieve his personal goals, he cannot hide his final embarrassment.

The love of beauty led to the use of public funds to wash out neat suits and even cosmetic surgery; the love of the family led to the use of public funds to buy houses, gifts, and private schools for the family;

Frank and Pan should have spent a lot of time and energy covering up the corruption charges they could have used to do more and better things for the students and the school.

Once you step into the dark, it is difficult to get out.

What made a teacher who used to have a conscience, a love of reading, a willingness to give, and an achievement become a person who embezzled public funds for education?

Ideal: Lost in the glamorous sugar-coated life

Frank has indeed made many achievements for the students and the school patiently and carefully. After all, the school magazine students who dared to report corruption incidents were inspired by him: reporting depends on oneself, don’t be bound by preconceived topics, any material can be reported An invaluable story.

But all these noble ideas and elegant deeds are based on the fact that money from corruption has given them a rich material life, and the source of hard work that drives these people is no longer an ideal, but an unattainable achievement in the world.

In the end, when Frank was on the verge of collapse, a parent who showed off his child crushed him, and the darkness inside exploded instantly. As he himself said, those students who had worked so hard to bring out the teachers left their teachers behind, which made them feel chilled; those parents who kept using their children's little achievements to make rhetoric make them disgusting; those high-rise schools with deep family backgrounds Dong, let him lose his mind. A teacher who should have had a longer career is lost in vicious emotions of anger, jealousy, contempt, and lust.

The ideal door has become a dream of prison. The praise of students, the praise of colleagues, and the respect of parents can only appear in the dream of the cold cell.

How to make people with ideals always keep their ideals in mind?

How to keep capable people from deviating in the dark night?

How can teachers, students, and parents have a positive growth relationship?

How to supervise those business partners who have trusted for many years?

How to avoid education career not turning into money career?

I don't know if you have a more practical and perfect answer

Frank said: Although the system is not perfect, it does work.

In the end, he succeeded, and was defeated.

    Three and a half stars, I think the filming is good. The characters and stories have some shadows of The Wolf of Wall Street and the American Murderer (but there is no violent plot). There are also ideas for the rhythm and suspense of the script. The handling of the ending feels a bit low-key, which is a pity.

    Top 10 of the year! "Breeds" director Corey Finlay is much more stable this time, and is limited by the biographical subject matter, and the weirdness is no longer interesting, which is a pity. In fact, as a biopic, he has once again jumped out of the frame of a genre film: the most interesting part is the part where Pam's corruption is exposed, Anna Legge's character finds Pam's follow-up camera and "" In Liang, Anya's role in the party is in the same vein as the camera; there is also a strange soundtrack by the master of the soundtrack of "Escape from the Dead" and "Us"; As a gay character, Rafael Caso is really weirdly sexy; it's a pity that the "Masque"-style use of sideways and frontal faces to suggest the character's psychological state is no longer used. Kerui's greatest strength lies not only in the rare stylization and authorship of genre films, but also in his high sensitivity to casting and perfect training of actors. The performances of big and small roles are extremely eye-catching. This film also raises the question: Is corruption a problem of institutional defects or personal corruption? Or both? 100/100

Bad Education quotes

  • Frank Tassone: It's not perfect. But, it works. What we have here works. I hope we can keep it that way.

  • David Bhargava: Are you asking me if I was a part of it? No, I wasn't. Not at any point in time. I promise you. But, you got to understand, those were guys that I come up with my entire career. Guys whose kids, you and Neal played with on the weekends. Guys with families. They were good people. And it was all gonna even out in the long run, so, who cares? I didn't say anything. I could have. But, I didn't. And that's something I live with.
