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.

Two Analytical Frames for Utilizing School Novels in Teacher Education

"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.
by James Trier
Teacher Education Quarterly

" 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.

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
Butler University, USA
Arts and Humanities in Higher Education

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.
