| How We Determine Our Grades | |
After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.
What is the difference between being confident in defending yourself and your position, and resorting to rude and aggressive behavior? What are appropriate reactions to the daily hassles that affect everyone? How can a person’s response escalate or moderate a situation?
In order to be funny, even comedy must have an element of reality to it. How would Rydell’s therapy be viewed in the real world? Is it likely he would still have a valid license? Did he face any consequences for his bizarre behavior? What about the tidy ending to the film? Is the explanation at all feasible?
