Dangerous Minds
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Before the end of the school term, I purchased the film Dangerous Minds (for me)in an effort to stay focused on what really matters in teaching--the students. Yet, the film, starring Michelle Pfeiffer as LouAnne Johnson, a former U.S. Marine, spoke volumes to my students as well. Dangerous Minds, based on Ms. Johnson's My Posse Don't Do Homework, provided a real story replete with students in which my classes could identify. Being able to find movies, books, and other materials on Ebay has enhanced my teaching and helped me to reach a growing majority of students who are visual learners. I highly recommend this film to anyone who would like to learn more about the realities of what occurs in many high schools across the nation. If anything seemed to be missing it is the rampant use of drugs that we, as teachers, see too often in our own schools, rural and urban.
