Recess: School's Out

Recess: School's Out (2001): Andy Lawrence, Ashley Johnson, Pam Segall, Rickey D'Shon Collins
PopMatters Film Review


Enter Recess: School's Out, the new Disney animated film based on the popular Saturday morning cartoon. Like the show, the movie follows the exploits of a group of elementary schoolers as they torment their overbearing teachers, such as the shrewish Miss Finster (April Winchell) and the well-meaning but clueless Principal Prickly (Dabney Coleman). As the film opens, the kids are celebrating the upcoming summer break by pulling one more school prank, namely, the theft of ice cream bars that are being kept from the kids by Miss Finster.

The hyperlearning revolution will replace public education

Wired 1.01: School's Out

The conventional "technology" of the classroom is a thousand-year-old invention initially adopted to discipline an esoteric cadre of acetic monks. The institution of contemporary, "public" education is a 19th- century innovation designed as a worker-factory for an industrial economy. Both have as much utility in today's modern economy of advanced information technology as the Conestoga wagon or the blacksmith shop.

SCHOOL'S OUT?
A CONVERSATION WITH SEYMOUR PAPERT.
in Meme

Seymour Papert: The big shift is social rather than technological. In 1980 kids used computers in schools, and if you wanted to talk about changing education, school was the place to do it. Now there are many more computers in homes than schools, and there is more interesting innovation and alternative learning taking place in homes than in schools. The transformation is in the kids. They are the power that will change schools. They know a lot more than many teachers do -- certainly collectively they do. Computers in the home is the biggest source of change in education.
DB: Why is it an improvement that education might be happening in the home rather than in the schools? Why is that a cause for optimism?

Alice Cooper | School's Out lyrics

Lyricsfreak


Well we got no choice all the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise 'cause they found new toys
Well we can't salute ya can't find a flag if that don't suit ya that's a drag
School's out for summer school's out forever school's been blown to pieces
No more pencils no more books no more teacher's dirty looks yeah
Well we got no class and we got no principals and we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
School's out for summer school's out forever my school's been blown to pieces
No more pencils no more books no more teacher's dirty looks
Out for summer out till fall we might not come back at all
School's out forever school's out for summer
School's out with fever school's out completely


Alice Cooper lyrics

School's Out

School's Out (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


"School's Out" is a 1972 title track single released on Alice Cooper's fifth album. It is arguably Alice Cooper's most well-known song.

Cooper has said he was inspired to write the song when answering the question, "What's the greatest three minutes of your life?". Says Cooper: "There's two times during the year. One is Christmas morning, when you're just getting ready to open the presents. The greed factor is right there. The next one is the last three minutes of the last day of school when you're sitting there and it's like a slow fuse burning. I said, 'If we can catch that three minutes in a song, it's going to be so big.'"

Cooper has also said it was inspired by a line from a Bowery Boys movie.

"School's Out" became Alice Cooper's first big song, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and propelling the album to #2 on the Billboard 200 pop albums chart. The song reached #1 on the UK singles chart for three weeks in August 1972. It also marked the first time that Alice Cooper became regarded as more than just a theatrical novelty act. In 2004, the song was ranked #319 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The lyrics of "School's Out" indicate that not only is the school year ended for summer vacation, but ended forever, and that the school itself has been blown up. It incorporates the childhood rhyme, "No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks" into its lyrics. It also featured children contributing some of the vocals, just as in Pink Floyd's 1979 hit "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)".

There is one difference between the LP and single versions. The "turn-off" effect used at the end of the album track (which is also the common radio airplay version) is not used for the 45, which simply fades out.


Song in popular media

The song has been used in the movies Scream, Dazed and Confused, and Rock 'n' Roll High School.

In 2004, the song was also used in a Staples television commercial in which Alice appeared as himself. A young girl with black hair, obviously disappointed that school is starting soon, says, "I thought you said 'School's out forever.'" Alice (who's pushing a shopping cart full of her school supplies) replies, "No, no, no ... the song goes, 'School's out for summer.' Nice try though." (However, the lyrics to the song do include the phrase "School's out forever.")

The title of the first Degrassi movie comes from this song

The song is also referenced in Martin Scorsese's The Departed ; After the police academy graduation, Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) says to Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) "School's out... No more pencils, no more books."

The Simpsons episode Kamp Krusty had an excerpt of the song's refrain used during Bart's dream sequence with the destruction of Springfield Elementary on its last day of school before summer vacation.

A cover is playable in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. In addition, the message "School's out forever!!", extracted from the song, can be seen on LED scrolling panels on the "Battle of the Bands" stage in the game's precursor, Guitar Hero II.

In the Series "Everybody Hates Chris" in an episode when Chris gets revenge from the School Bully and the police are outside the school they play the song.

Research, Ideology, and the Brown Decision: Counter-narratives to the Historical and Contemporary Representation of Black Schooling


by Jerome Morris — 2008

TCRecord: Article



Background/Context: Most narratives of Brown v. Board of Education primarily focus on integrated schooling as the ultimate objective in Black people’s quest for quality schooling. Rather than uniformly assuming integration as Black people’s ideological model, the push by Black people for quality schooling instead should be viewed within the contours of Black political thought, which encompasses multiple ideologies (of which integration represents only one).

The Professor as Open Book
By STEPHANIE ROSENBLOOM

IT is not necessary for a student studying multivariable calculus, medieval literature or Roman archaeology to know that the professor on the podium shoots pool, has donned a bunny costume or can’t get enough of Chaka Khan.
Yet professors of all ranks and disciplines are revealing such information on public, national platforms: blogs, Web pages, social networking sites, even campus television.

Effects of films

Feature film and teaching/learning
Michael Sturma

TL Forum 97


    What are the effects of feature film on student learning? While it seems widely assumed that the use of feature films in teaching serves to pique student interest and facilitate learning, there has been relatively little study of learning produced by films. What work has been done in this field mainly focuses on educationally designed instruction/training films rather than popular cinema productions. This is an area of special interest to me, since in 1997 I will be offering a unit titled Hollywood and History. The course examines twentieth century America through the lens of feature films such as JFK, Malcolm X and Apocalypse Now. For some time many historians have accepted the intrinsic value of feature films in teaching history, but without specific examination of how this affects student learning. I am interested in exploring this dilemma.

Teacher as Hero

THE TEACHER AS HERO:THE EXPLOITATION OF NICENESS

Kenneth Futernick
California State University, Sacramento

Much has been written on the teacher’s role as moral educator. In “The Morality of Niceness,” Suttle considers a related topic that has received far less attention — teachers as moral agents. He argues that a teacher’s obligations should not be limited to the achievement of academic objectives, but should include being a caring, sensitive, and sympathetic person with one’s students. In short, teachers have a moral and professional obligation to be nice. The problem Suttle sees is that many people, including philosophers, regard being nice as supererogatory — that is, going beyond one’s obligations. He tries to convince us that within the context of teaching, being nice is not supererogatory. If he succeeds in demonstrating that teachers have a duty to be nice, he believes he has established a “morality of niceness” which entitles us to say that teachers who are not nice are incompetent and morally irresponsible.

Metaphor Teacher's journey

Metaphor

Becoming a Teacher as a Hero's Journey: Using Metaphor in Preservice Teacher Education | Teacher Education Quarterly
Find Articles at BNET.com

In this article, I share the results of a recent study that explored the ways in which the hero's journey metaphor offered support to a cohort of preservice elementary school teachers during their first field placement experience. Because "the hero is a universal ideal that helps people think about their lives in a more profound and creative way" (Noble, 1994, p. 30) and because the hero's journey's emphasizes transformation and growth, the hero's journey is an appropriate and potentially powerful metaphor for nascent teachers.

Representatie Reflection

REFLECTION BY USING MOVIES - ITQ


Reflections on the way that teacher quality is identified in teacher movies (or sitcoms)can be a starting point for teachers to identify teacher quality.

Dahl: representatie

Sharon E. Royer, Roald Dahl and Sociology 101. ALAN Review - Fall 1998 Volume 26, Number 1

Een visie op maatschappij in het algemeen en instituties in het bijzonder:
Largely known as the author of James and the Giant Peach (1961) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), Roald Dahl is also the author of three full-length works for early adolescents. It is of this group of young people that Dahl once said, " 'If my books can help children become readers, then I feel I have accomplished something important' " (West). Dahl's books for adolescents have caught the attention of young people and adults alike. The view of society revealed through his books--his implied criticism of adults and his contempt for social institutions--has made his works popular with adolescents. This same view has brought mixed reactions from critics.


Een specifieke visie op scholen, leraar en directie:
The title character in Matilda is a five-year-old child genius whose corrupt parents are practically oblivious to her existence. When she begins to attend school she encounters Miss Honey, her quiet and lovable teacher. She also meets Miss Trunchbull, the headmistress, an ex-Olympic hammer thrower who continues to practice with children. "The Trunchbull" refuses to acknowledge Matilda's genius and promote her, but Matilda finds that she can channel her brainpower to manipulate objects. She then develops a plan to use her power to get rid of Miss Trunchbull for good, and to rectify the wrongs done to Miss Honey. These three books, with their young heroes and heroines, are major contributions to the young adult market, due to the high level of commonality that Roald Dahl's protagonists share with the readers.

Pop songs education

Cooper, B. Lee. Popular Music Perspectives: Ideas, Themes, and Patterns in Contemporary Lyrics. Bowling Green, OH: Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 1991.


See chapter four ‘Education (II)’

“Popular music, a principle artifact of youth culture, gives a voice to a broad range of concerns, values, and priorities of young people. A careful analysis of scores of popular songs shows that lyrics consistently depict formal schooling as dehumanizing, irrelevant, alienating, laughable, isolating, and totally unworthy of any link with the Socratic tradition. To assess at least one measure of young people's perceptions of education, the authors surveyed over two hundred hit recordings that deal with some facet of public schools. We discovered strikingly clear images, few of which shift in emphasis over time" (48).

Images of Schoolteachers

Images of Schoolteachers in America

Edited by Pamela Bolotin Joseph, Gail E. Burnaford

About the Book

This book explores images of schoolteachers in America from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, using a wide range of approaches to scholarship and writing. It is intended for both experienced and aspiring teachers to use as a springboard for discussion and reflection about the teaching profession and for contemplating these questions:

What does it mean to be a teacher?
What has influenced and sustained our beliefs about teachers?

New in the second edition
* The focus is shifted to the teaching profession as the 21st century unfolds.
* The volume continues to explore teacher images through various genres--oral history, narrative, literature, and popular culture. In the second edition, the authors place more emphasis on the social-political context that has shaped teachers' daily experiences and the teaching profession itself. In the study of teacher images and schooling, the essays draw from feminist research methods and the critical tradition in educational inquiry to probe issues of power and authority, race, social class, and gender.
* The emphasis is on the multidimensionality of teacher images rather than normative characterizations.
* Six totally new chapters have been written for this new edition: an "invented interview" spanning 100 years of school teaching; portraits of progressive activist teachers; an exploration of teachers in fiction for young adults; a retrospective of the satirical cartoon show, The Simpsons; a study of crusading and caring teachers in films; and an overview of progressive classroom practices in "the new millennium." Seven chapters have been thoroughly revised to reflect current scholarship and the authors' evolving knowledge and interests.

Analytical frames

Two Analytical Frames for Utilizing School Novels in Teacher Education
by Elaine F. McNally

Curriculum Inquiry, v9 n1 p81-86 Spr 1979

"Two methods and examples of how novels that deal with educational issues can assist teachers in understanding educational problems".

School Novels

School story
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The school story is a genre of fiction, basic to much of the children's literature of the twentieth century. The boarding school is a very common setting, with its plot advantages of the absence of parents and a relatively closed society.
The first true school story may have been Tom Brown's Schooldays, which was followed by innumerable Victorian era imitations, and magazine series. The Harry Potter series of novels has extensively reviewed some of the generic conventions, albeit being filled with average fantasy conventions. These include the idea that the action should be described, almost exclusively, from the pupils' viewpoint.

Cinematic Representation

The cinematic representation of the personal and professional lives of teachers.

" For years, I have been interested in a genre of popular films that can be called "school films."' Generally, I define a school film as a movie that in some way-even incidentally-is about an educator or a student".

inner-school city films

‘Sordid Fantasies': reading popular ‘inner-city' school films as racialized texts with pre-service teachers by James Trier Race
Ethnicity and Education, Volume 8, Number 2, July 2005 , pp. 171-189(19)

Abstract:

This article discusses a multi-phase project designed to inquire into and challenge pre-service teachers' assumptions, beliefs and knowledge about inner-city schools. Prior to beginning their student teaching in inner-city schools, pre-service teachers articulated in essays and seminar discussions their opinions and beliefs about inner-city schools. They then examined in depth selected cinematic representations of inner-city schools to deconstruct those representations for their ‘racialized' and ‘deracialized' discourses, as well as for the ‘sordid fantasies' and ‘lullabies' that films set in the inner-city typically construct. Finally, after their experiences student teaching in inner-city schools, pre-service teachers rearticulated their views about inner-city schools, based on their own experiences teaching in such schools. Pre-service teachers discovered the extent to which their views of inner-city schools had been formed through popular representations, and they also discovered how their own experiences in schools revealed the great discrepancy between popular representations of inner-city schools and what such schools are actually like. Pre-service teachers found the process of analysing the school films through the theoretical lenses provided by academic texts to be engaging and productive.

Lakshmi Srinivas - Hollywood Goes to High School (review) - Social Forces 84:3 Social Forces 84.3 (2006) 1852-1853 Hollywood Goes to High School. By Robert C. Bulman. Worth Publishers, 2005. 191 pages. $23.95 (paper) Robert Bulman seeks to bring much-needed sociological sensibility to the study of the high school film. Observing that most studies treat the genre "monolithically," Bulman differentiates urban public, suburban public and private school films. The book argues that Hollywood's portrayal of adolescence and high school rests on social class distinctions and that the films reflect and reinforce a "middle-class cultural hegemony" that has to do with "individualism, self-sufficiency, free expression, hard work and fair play." (p. 7) Bulman insightfully unearths consistent differences in film subgenres, each with its distinctive view of adolescence and individualism. Urban public school films revolve around class struggle between the "morally-challenged urban poor" and their "virtuous...

50 Best High School Movies

List Washington Post

List of Wahsington Post

The List:

1. The Breakfast Club -- The first of two John Hughes-directed movies on the list, the movie's genius is summed up in the letter composed by the main characters at the end, breaking down what divides and connects all teens:

2. Sixteen Candles -- Sure, some of it is slapstick, but Molly Ringwald's portrayal of a girl coming into her own is spot-on.

3. Dazed and Confused -- From Jason London's rebellious football player to Matthew McConaughey's creepy guy who can't let go of his teens, Richard Linklater not only nailed beautifully mundane ups-and-downs of high school, but cast a list of future all-stars including McConaughey, Parker Posey, Ben Affleck and Renee Zellweger.

4. Fast Times at Ridgemont High -- All post-1982 high school movies should thank this genre-defining film from Amy Heckerling and Cameron Crowe.

5. Donnie Darko -- Sure, Jake Gyllenhaal's Donnie is probably cuckoo, but his earnest portrayal of a boy out to save the world reminds us just how poignant adolescent emotion can be. And that teens are smart enough to grasp a complex storyline.

6. Mean Girls -- Pay close attention: This 2004 movie about the often-ruthless world of teen girls may just stand as Lindsay Lohan's best performance ever.

7. Dead Poets Society -- Because before being beat down by the work-a-day world, all of us were once inspired.

8. Lucas -- That's right, this understated movie starring a young Corey Haim, is a touching and sometimes heartwrenching look at what it's like being an outcast in love.

9. Clueless -- Okay, so we may not all live in Beverly Hills lives loosely modeled on the plot of Jane Austen's "Emma," but Amy Heckerling's 1995 movie does a good job of chronicling one teen's quest for her true self.

10. Heathers -- Remember those girls you hated in high school? The ones who seemed to have everything, but you somehow knew they'd end up as tanning salon receptionists? Well, if you ever wondered what it would have been like if they'd started murdering each other, this movie's for you.

Review by Geoff Barton

Carry on Teachers! Susan Ellsmore, Trentham Books, £16.99
I imagine no one became a teacher because of Grange Hill. Whilst it might have kick-started the career of Todd Carty (formerly EastEnders, twice, and now The Bill) and persuaded the viewing millions that school caretakers had more class control than most teachers, it did little to enhance the reputation of a profession battered by negative media images, low self-esteem, and disastrous industrial action.
That was the 1980s. Now, as Sociology teacher and author Susan Ellsmore tells us, “education has become a sexy subject”. Her book is a survey of the main media representations of the teaching profession, from Goodbye Mr Chips (1939) through Carry on Teacher (1959), To Sir, With Love, 1967, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969), Clockwise (1986), Dead Poets Society (1989) to Lenny Henry in Hope & Glory (1999). Oh yes, and then there’s Teachers (2001 onwards).



Review of Susan Ellsmore, carry on, teachers! Representations of the teaching profession in screen culture - USQ ePrints

There is a strong and continuing tradition of cinematic representations of the work of educators, some of it memorable and inspiring. The most recent of these viewed by the reviewers was Julie Walters’ superlative performance in the television film Ahead of the Class (ITV, 2005). Walters portrayed Dame Marie Stubbs, who came out of retirement to lead St George’s Roman Catholic Secondary School in London, at whose gates a previous headteacher had been murdered and which was threatened with closure by the English Office for Standards in Education. Partly by dint of her powerful personality and partly through the enforcement of what some might see as traditional behaviour such as courtesy and punctuality, she succeeded in taking the school from having been threatened with closure to being lauded as a national example of good pedagogical practice.

Conference

The Teacher: Image, Icon, Identity

An International Conference exploring representations of 'The Teacher' in the arts and humanities.

Faculty of Education
University of Glasgow
2-4 July 2008

In the summer of 2008, the Faculty of Education will be the venue for an exciting and innovative conference exploring representations of 'the teacher' in a range of disciplines across the arts and humanities. The main focus of the conference will be the image of teachers in, for example, novels, poetry, drama, film, painting, sculpture and song.

An international trio of keynote speakers from the USA, Spain, and Scotland will headline this important event.

You are warmly invited to peruse the Call for Papers which provides a rationale for the conference and outlines the procedure for submission of abstracts to the academic committee.

BBC NEWS | Education | Changing face of screen teachers


I was prompted into these musings on fictional teachers by the recently published book Carry on Teachers! by Susan Ellsmore. This is a rarity - a PhD that is actually readable and enjoyable.
She traces the evolution of representations of teachers in screen culture from Mr Chips (1939), through Jean Brodie (1969), to super-head Ian George, played by Lenny Henry in Hope And Glory (1999), and the amoral Simon Casey in Teachers (2001-04).

Narrative Myths

Real Teaching and Real Learning vs Narrative Myths about Education
Marshall Gregory

All real classrooms are saturated in the fictional narratives about education from TV and movies that swirl about thickly and persistently in western culture, yet the influence that these fictions exert on real teachers and real students is seldom examined. This article argues that since these fictional narratives nearly always deal in recycled stereotypes of both students and teachers, and that since these stereotypes are both ubiquitous and compelling, and that since they seldom receive critical attention, the influence they exert on real teachers and real students is to mislead, confuse, and impoverish their evaluations of and expectations about the nature of genuine education.

Key Words: education narratives • educational myths • images vs words • student stereotypes • teacher stereotypes

Representation of Teachers in 60 years

Representations of Teachers in 60 Years of Films:

A Database promoting Critical Analysis of Teacher Image with regard to Race, Class, and Gender This data set was developed as a resource for Foundations of Education Courses and Other Courses in which learners will critically examine the representation of teachers and students in popular culture. I viewed 51 films released from 1939 to 1998 and analyzed each with respect to teacher and student representation in terms of race, class, and gender. For each film I described the story line, social context, implicit view of teaching, implicit view of students, and themes. All of the comments recorded (including data on race, class, and gender) reflect my interpretations and are subject to reinterpretation and critique. I hope you find the data tables useful, and please do share suggestions for revision/addition with me at beyerbac@oswego.edu. Please also write if you would like a searchable, Access file of the original database from which these tables were produced.
