\n<\/span>the Culture of Poverty: The Teacher as the Urban School Cowboy<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cUtilitarian Individualism\u201d essentially refers
\nto the belief that people, regardless of their circumstances, are largely responsible
\nfor their life outcomes (eg. education, career, home environment, health, etc.). <\/span>According to the reading, films, and class
\ndiscussion, what are three scenes or parts of movies where this support of \u201cUtilitarian
\nIndividualism\u201d is reflected?<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Do you believe utilitarian individualism is an
\naccurate description of how our society works? In other words, are student
\nchoices and work ethic more powerful than institutional racism, segregated
\nschools, varying access to health care and other effects of poverty? Explain.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>How does the author feel about question 2?<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>The author argues that generally speaking urban
\nkids are not treated as individuals with distinct personalities, while suburban
\nkids are. Is this true? Provide examples.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>What parallels does the author draw between Mr.
\nDadie from Blackboard Jungle<\/i> and Ms. Johnson from Dangerous Minds?<\/i>
\nCan you think of any others?<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Why is the jungle metaphor used in many of these
\nfilms? What does the jungle represent? <\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>As the author points out, in many films the
\nadministration is depicted as clueless incompetent obstacles to quality
\nteaching and learning. What are some examples from educational films? <\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>How do you think filmed depictions of students
\nand teachers affect how the public views the education system? Explain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
