The teaching philosophy that Katherine Watson lived by was to think out side of the box and to get the girls to think outside of the box and try to find new perspectives on how they view things. On the other hand, Charles Dickens' way of teacher was the total opposite. He said the only way to teach was to go by the syllabus and never teach anything other than facts and what is in the book. The differences between their ways of teaching are like yin and yang, total opposites. She teaches to look with a new perspective and questions everything, while he teaches where that whatever it says in the book is what he thinks is right and doesn't have an opinion of his own about the very information he taught. I think that the way Katherine Watson taught is much more efficient and really gets the people thinking and making an opinion of their own.  

I thought it was a good movie. It really showed you that you can do whatever you want and you shouldn't let other people shape you and go with what everyone else is doing. That one girl that kept getting with the older married men and the professor was really pretty too so I liked that. She was my favorite part of the movie haha.

I think this movie is going to be about how a professor is going to change her students view on life and at the same time they'll change hers too. It will probably be a very moving movie and will motivate people to do something with their life. I think it will be a good movie. The trailer was pretty open so it could go either way.

My thoughts on the different exam levels is that it's gonna be pretty hard but you just have to prepare yourself enough and not slack off. I think the test that we take to get into college and all that is alright. It gives you an opportunity to show that you actually know stuff and that you know stuff. To study for exams and test in college you need to study weeks before so you're fully prepared and don't fail that test because they count a lot in college because there's not so many. Don't slack off and make sure and study using different ways not just one way.
