Jane Eyre and Bad Teacher: Schools in the Past and Nowadays

I like both movies in different ways. Jane Eyre is a dramatic, effective movie and Bad Teacher is a funny comedy about a teacher I would never hire for my Institution. Great sources for discussion. I used them to talk about education in the past and nowadays.
























Talk to a partner:


1. Describe the ideal school in your viewpoint.

2. What do you like best in your school?

3. What do you dislike the most?

4. How different will schools be in the future?

5. Are schools better or worse than they used to be?

6. What will the role of teacher be in the future? Will they ever be replaced by
computers/ robots/ another technology?


Watch the segments that follow and compare both educational systems.


Pay attention to the following items:


Classrooms:

Atmosphere:

Teacher's behavior:

Students' Behavior:

Punishment and Praising:

Motivation (teacher's and students'):

Seating Arrangements:

School Facilities:
