The Impression of
Front of the
Class
Recently, I have seen a film named
Front of the Class
. The film
touches my heart
deeply and makes me
think a lot in many aspects including the
differences of the way
of thinking
between China and the West.
The film adapted from the
true story of the Brad Cohen. So it makes the film
more
convincing
and
impressing.
The
protagonist
of
the
film
was
a
child
named
Brad
Cohen who always made
terrible noises no matter where he was and no
matter when.
At first, everyone thought
Brad did this deliberately including his parents.
But Brad
said he
couldn
’
t stop this. His
mother began to look up some medical books in
library
and found that Brad got the
Tourette syndrome and it
can
’
t be cured. Because of
this
Brad suffered a lot of unfair
treatment and prejudice from his teachers and
classmates.
The most disappointed was
that his father couldn’t understand him and this
frustrated
Brad
a
lot.
The
turning
point
of
Brad
’
s
life
occurred
when
the
headmaster
Meier
explained the disease of little Brad in
front of all the students. And since then Brad
made a decision to be a teacher. Brad
tried very hard for this dream and he never gave
up
even
when
he
suffered
a
lot
and
was
turned
down
by
many
schools.
Finally
he
succeeded
in
becoming
a
teacher
in
his
insistence.
Also
he
did
very
well
in
this
position
and
students
all
liked
him
very
much.
Moreover
he
got
the
title
of
Outstanding Teacher and
also he found his beloved girlfriend. They lived
happily ever
after.
In this film,
we can learn a lot about life such as we should
carry on our dreams no
matter how worse
the condition is and we should never give up to
the difficulties we
come
across
and
so
on.
Besides
this
we
can
also
treat
this
in
another
view,
for
example there are many differences
between China and the West. So next I will talk
about the differences of the way of
thinking between China and the West from several
aspects: education
ideas
、
the attitude towards
love and independence of the children.
We all know that in the
West there are many famous universities such as:
Oxford
、
Harvard Universit
y
、
Stanford University
and so on. This was a sign that the education
in the West is very successful. The
reason why the education is so successful
can
’
t be
separated with their excellent
education ideas. In this film, one scene that
impressed
me deeply was that in the
school concert the headmaster Meier asked Brad to
stand in
front of the classroom to
explain his disease to the students. Mr. Meier
didn
’
t tell the
students
about
Brad
’
s
Tourette syndrome directly.
On the
contrary, he asked
Brad a
few questions about his disease
and let him answer the questions by himself. By
this
way all the students understood
the condition of Brad and the reason why he
behaved
so different. The most
important is that the headmaster
didn
’
t help Brad to explain
but
let Brad himself to deal with the
things that belonged to him. In China, the
condition
is totally different.
Sometimes the teachers help students do a lot of
things and they
may neglect the
autonomous of students. Try to think this: if a
student like Brad were
in the school of
China, what the condition would be? Maybe we just
think he is very
poor and tell the
students not to bully and make fun of him. Most of
us will not do that
like the headmaster
Meier do: let him to make it clear by his own
work. And most of
the
time
we
help
the
students
do
their
own
business
and
ignore
they
should
be
