Bottoms

Think, Pair, Swear

Anti Set: A teacher sets up a fight club in their school, a student is injured and parents file a lawsuit. Yes. This really happened. Why? Just why? While student engagement was probably at an all time high, it isn’t advised.

Schooled: This lesbian girl fight club saga has it all: Pre-DUI Marshawn Lynch, caged football players, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” accompanying exploding cars, ugly and untalented gays, deadly pineapples, a Gen Z using a phonebook, a unit on Women Murdered in History, an athlete impelled with a sword, and scissoring. Just kidding. Scissoring really isn’t a thing, and it wasn’t tried in this film. It’s a crazy satire which was needed after Au Revoir and Whiplash.

Exit: A teacher has a panic attack after two girls fought in her class, and wants advice on how to remain calm. Sure classroom climate can sometimes prevent this from happening, but kids are kids. In an age of “self care” how do teachers deal with student-on-student violence and still keep their sanity after it happens?
