Analysis Of Last Chance High

Decent Essays
"Last Chance High" was a powerful video on what problems can cause to anyone and everyone. Throughout the video my head would create new questions about the teachers, the family , the students of how hard it must be living a life like that. In the video got involved with many students and showing us their life's. However, the ones that out spoke more was Crystal's life and Cortez . Even from the first video that was shown all kids showed their true colors about how they feel and what were the causes that got them to act that kind of way. The school was for those kids who were not able to go to regular school, and i think it was a good idea but the teachers need better way controlling the students. Showing them more motivation for them to keep

    School is the beginning of our adventure through life. It not only teaches us the mandatory lessons needed but also ones that stick to us throughout life. Whether it was that one extraordinary teacher or the one everyone hated, students would still learn and use it to their advantage. Unfortunately, this was the mindset of teenagers/ young adult’s years ago; now the students of today aren’t understanding the value of their education and how far it can take them.…

    In the movie you see a lot of discrimination and oppression. These students were already predicted their future basically by saying they will drop out or just stop showing up. They were not allowed any of the newer books because they were told they wouldn't be able to understand them or destroy them. They were all separated and put into a classroom together so they would disrupt any of the other students trying to learn. They were always denied access to all the nice classrooms or trips (etc.)…

    One of the effects of World War I was that many high school students dropped out in order to work while their fathers were away at war. With the Great Depression, this problem only increased. Schools across the country reacted to this by making lower grades more rigorous, since many students would only obtain an eighth grade education. This junior high system remained in place until around the 1960s, when the Carnegie foundation funded a study that brought about several changes, eventually evolving into the middle school concept. Focusing on a student centered environment, the middle school concept rose to popularity in the 1980s through the early twenty-first century and still remains popular in various forms today.…

    My experience working at was eye opening and made me realize what real hard work is. We take all the things we have in supermarket for granted but we never really think of the behind the scenes of our food. Or how cozy and commutable are jobs are compared to some other people’s jobs and most of all that we let ourselves become confined to a single location. This world is so big and there’s so much to learn on everything. Those summers I spent I learned a lot about ranching and had some great experiences that I never knew existed as well.…

    I found the podcasts to be very intriguing and brought attention to situations that I had no idea existed. If we look beyond the fact that twenty nine students were injured and three were killed the past year at Harper High, it sounds very similar to the high school I attended. While mine was much smaller in size and was primarily white and located in a rural setting, the students and school faculty seemed to have similar relationships. In the podcast, the narrator states that the faculty likes the students and the students like the faculty, which was the case at my high school. I can also compare how the faculty attempts to help the students who cannot afford to buy things such as soap or food, as many of our teachers and principals would…

    The good thing about this schools that I like is will motivate the students and tell them what exactly what to do also the teacher would help and see what every student is doing but the only thing is that the teacher do not gives any ideas to students when a students are not sure about an answer for a question. Also the teacher does not have the control of the classroom when students get noisy or get up from their desk. Some students are noisy and annoying and it’s very hard for a person to deal with so many students at the same time when they are noisy. I remember back in the days in high school some of the student were noisy and annoying or just throwing papers and it was hard for a teacher to take the control of the class. She just called the securities from the school to take them out the class.…

    When the video talked about how children were sent away to boarding school because their parents did not know how to handle them or communicate with them, it broke my heart. These children did not have regular communication with their families so they seemed to rely on the other children for love and support. Hearing the interviewees talk about their schooling adventure was pretty cool because they all had similar experiences. However, their experiences were not the best. Many of the people interviewed said that their deafness was treated as a handicap that…
