Movies During School

            I think that during school teachers should show movies because it allows the students to relax for once instead of having to learn something new all the time. Teachers are always stressing out about lesson plans and what to do during the class period, so by just showing an educational movie it will allow the students to learn from the movie and have the teacher be less stressed on trying to get a lesson plan together.

            During middle school I remember watching a ton of different movies, and now in high school my teachers rarely have us watch any movies, and it saddens me because I think that we learn a lot from just movies. One reason teachers should play more movies is it allows the student to just relax, and yes I know that this means an opportunity for a student to be sleeping since us students never have time to sleep! But anyway I think that if teachers played movies during class it would allow the teachers to be able to get caught up on grading the students work, creating other lesson plans, and just in general get to relax.

            I think especially during the time after Ap exams are all finished that teachers should play a couple of movies for the class to watch because like I said before, you can learn a lot from a movie, just like you can learn a lot from a book. I would love for more teachers to allow students to watch movies, since I feel like sometimes were not doing anything in class anyway and it would allow teachers to use their time wisely by showing an educational movie.

            Some teachers think that showing a movie in class is a waste of time, and to a certain degree I agree with them like there’s not really a movie you can watch that’s based upon math that will help you learn math…But I definitely think that in subjects like Spanish, Ap Psych, Ap Us, and just a ton of the subjects I’m taking this year that it would be very productive of the teachers to show a movie from time to time.

           Overall, I think that teachers should show a movie every once in a while so that the teachers can get caught up on their work since us students are always wanting to quickly know what we got on a test or different homework assignments. And it’s good for us students too! Because it allows us to not have to think for once and just relax and take it easy for a bit. So I think that teachers should show a movie in class every once in a while; I’m not saying all the time just maybe like once a term or something.
