The story is about 8 outstanding boys who are preparing to apply to Oxford/Cambridge and their teachers with great personality.
According to the domestic thinking, I thought that applying for top 2 requires a very high level of science and engineering, but I did not expect that the whole article is history and art education. The opera rehearsed by Posner and Scripps and some plays by other students, as well as the fat-like (purely realistic) general teacher's French and discussion of poetry, are very beautiful (no wonder he likes watching plays). But what I think of without artistic skills is "children from poor families learn science and engineering, children from ordinary families learn finance, and children from wealthy families learn philosophy", and when a country is extremely developed in art, this country will soon die. . .
Another thing that makes me hate this film is that it promotes homosexuality, even if the handsome Posner is fine, and Dakin, the conceited guy who has an affair with the beautiful assistant teacher, has to force the handsome teacher Irwin to have sex with him in the end, I can't see any plot Development needs, purely for homosexuality. Really bad teaching young people.
What I like more is Irwin's teaching method of history class. It does not set any framework, and allows students to substitute historical figures and think from their standpoint. This is a method I like.
I have always felt that history is the most important course in middle school, and it has a great influence on shaping students' three views. If a young man likes and is proud of his country's history and civilization, how can he easily abandon this country in the future? When I was young, I liked to read history stories, but I was speechless about history lessons. I was very impressed. The first history exam had a term explaining "Daze Township Uprising". I had no experience at all and told a story about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in a very small space. I didn't expect that the main test was "historical significance". Is it necessary for a child to stress that "this is the first peasant uprising"? Can we not talk about the feudal system such as the one whip method, and just tell the story purely, and tell the characters of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, Chu and Han, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to be more interesting. . .
