HW 48: Treatment for Savior/Teacher Movie

Scene 1:
It's the middle of class. The teacher is walking around the classroom checking on the students as they work on a problem. He gives some a thumbs up, while others a condescending chuckle and a shake of his head. Others, he totally ignores and walks by. It's obvious he plays favorites. As he approaches the front of the room, he asks for volunteers to come up to the board to show their work. A bunch of students raise their hands. He picks a student sitting in the back corner of the room. The kid reluctantly goes up and writes his work on the board. The teacher declares it wrong and has his favorite student explain why it is so. The kid in the back of the room (let's call him Jay) lets out a pissed off sigh, picks up his book bag and leaves the classroom.

Scene 2:
It's lunch time. Jay and his band of underachieving friends get together and discuss the event in class. They're complaining. The teacher's favorite student, Chris overhears the conversation and comes up to them. He tells them that there's no one to blame but themselves for being dumb and uneducated. They get into an argument, almost breaking into a fight, but don't because of security. Chris exits, leaving the group fuming with rage.

Scene 3:
Classroom scene happens again for the next couple of days, where the teacher is repetitively shown to favor some students and ignore others. Jay is leaning back in his chair, peering under his hood. He observes the way his teacher is mistreating his friends. His mind replays memories of the past couple of months in this classroom as well as the past years with his other teachers. He thinks about his family's lack of expectations for him and feels hopeless. But this feeling is quickly run over by the anger he feels for his teacher and himself. He realizes that Chris was partially correct about his underachieving nature.

Scene 4:
Jay gathers up a bunch of his friends and classmates and encourages them to take part in a series of study sessions. Studying montage comes on. They continue to not participate in class despite knowing most of the information now.

Scene 5:
Finals roll around and the group ace it. The teacher and the rest of the class are extremely surprised and bewildered. They suspect that they are cheating. So the group takes a second test and aces that as well.

Scene 6:
The principal praises the teacher for such an achievement. The teacher accepts it and convinces himself that this was in fact his deed. Jay and the group shake their heads and smile as if they were sympathizing for their teachers behavior. They pick up their book bags and exit the last day of school.
