Over the many years of humanity, there have been many "facts" that have been later proven to be false. There was a time when the earth was believed to be the center of the solar system. Today we know that this is not the case. The point is, if all you do is spit out facts at people, like in the excerpt from Charles Dickens' novel, you rob them the chance to form their own opinions. A progressive style of teaching allows students to decipher the information in their own manner. They have the opportunity to accept or disagree with information regardless of how the teacher giving the lesson may feel. If we are forced to always accept one answer to our questions, we don't have the option to consider multiple angles. People need to learn to question the way things have always been done, not to cause chaos or use it as a form of spite, but simply to be able to understand how they really feel about things. If all your faith is put into a belief that you don't truly agree with because of what other people say, that belief will not make any sense when you're all alone forced to truly consider it.

The coolest theme of this movie was how it showed that even when people are expected to be a certain way, that doesn't mean you have to conform to the normal ways. That you should be yourself even if it is not encouraged by everyone. It also showed how some people get too wrapped up in not conforming and won't except other people which is bad.

I believe that Mona Lisa Smile will be about a lady who teaches art at an all girl's school. The movie will show how her teaching style affects her students. I think this movie will be about showing courage and overcoming obstacles because of the voice of the trailer narrator. I also think that in this movie the teacher lady will get very down on herself and struggle a lot. In the end though, she will learn to overcome these problems. All the girls in this movie learn to view the world in a better way.

I think the fact that high school offers more frequent exams gives students more opportunities to be successful in class. Which would be nice in college, but it makes sense that this preference must change. College should be more difficult. To prepare for exams you can make flash cards, which help you quiz yourself, or work with a friend. There are other methods of course, it is most important to use a method that works best for you. #collegetransition
