Crazy Joe

The movie "Lean On Me" is totally different from the movie that my classmates and I watched during the movie session.

Why is that so?
First of all, the previous movie shows the teachers with great manner and approach their students with appropriate way. Elementary school principal, Joe Clark a.k.a Crazy Joe is quit radical in handling his students. When he enters the school, he dismisses hundreds of students with drug problems. His action creates havoc in Parents Teacher Meeting as they view his action is too drastic.

Secondly, the previous movie shows teacher with good relationship with the person around them. Crazy Joe shows the different value in handling the people around him. He works according his wish without giving another person get in the way. As a result, his relationship with the person around him get worse. The school atmosphere is so tense that some of the teacher get suspended and quit their jobs.

In my opinion, Crazy Joe is too strict in handling this situation. He should have been more lenient with his staff because they are the important aspect in creating a school. However, we need different method in handling different situation. He had done the best that he can do in order to save the school. Finally, the school is saved and the students able to achieve the standardize results.
