Popular Teen Movies of the 90's

For me the finest time happened in my life was during high school. It's gracelessly surprising to conjure stuff during this stage in details about teen angst, bullying, social alienation and first love. How can I forget that? So now, I will make an outline of five memorable best teen movies of the 90s that I really love to watch over and over again.

Clueless (1995)
Sex. Clothes. Popularity. Whatever!!!

Superficial gal Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) who doesn't care about getting high grades than wearing fab clothes in Beverly Hills high school. She makes sure being so famous, as possible; Cher is fond of playing match-maker and helping out her friends with the latest trend in fashion. Apart from it, she's also amicably searching for a perfect boyfriend.

Can't Hardly Wait (1998)
For the class of 1998, the last night of high school is the first night of the rest of their lives.

It's about self-exploration of teen world boozed with sex and liquor. Can't Hardly Wait revolves around an eclectic group of teenagers from Huntington Hills High attending in a graduation party and things develop revealing their secret crushes, kicking off a sweet vengeance on a lifelong bully and engaging in sexual experimentation.

American Pie (1999)
Boy gets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets pie.

The hilarious teenage flick American Pie stands out in my memory because four teenage friends enter a pact to get some girls and lose their virginity before the prom night. But the conflict was "how will they reach their objective before they graduate?"

Cruel Intentions (1999)
In the game of seduction and betrayal, how far will you go?

This is the sexiest teen movie that I've ever watched because I've turned on some of the steamy scenes, lastly for the reason that it's well acted. LOL It's a wonderfully twisted tale of wealthy teenagers; a manipulative lass Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar), her step-brother Sebastian (Ryan Philippe) and the virgin Annette (Reese Witherspoon).

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Romeo, Oh Romeo, Get Out Of My Face.

It's worth watching for the fact that Heath Ledger starred on this teenage film even if it's quite predictable. 10 Things I hate About You is based upon on William Shakespeare’s comedy play "The Taming of the Shrew"

Allowance and Math: Perfect Combination to Teach Math to Kids

When a pre-schooler gets a humble amount of money as allowance, this is your perfect opening to teach them math – a subject that most students, and even adults seem to stay away from as much as possible.

Just like writing essays, teaching math to kids is a task that parents should not solely leave to teachers.  It is a task that everyone should pitch in order for kids to fully understand the subject.  And here are some ways to blend the two and create a financially responsible and possible mathlete child.

Be detailed when it comes to giving them their weekly allowance

The amount should not be that dig, especially if they are like five or six years old.  Having money in their hands and teaching them how to handle it through math will instill in them a sense of responsibility and accountability.  Teaching them the ropes of addition and subtraction will make them aware of what happens when they spend money that is given to them.

Write down an allowance plan with them

Don’t use an excel sheet for this task, just write it in a piece of colorful paper with a pencil or a crayon. Then post it in the fridge or in their room so that they know that the whole family is watching how they spend their allowance.  Knowing that everybody knows how much they were given and how much of it should they spend and where they should be spent on will instill in them a sense of honesty and transparency.

Monitor how they actualize that allowance plan

Tracking how they abide with the allowance plan will then give you the chance to teach how adding money and spending it is related to math – a subject they will have to learn all throughout the first half of the lives.  They will unknowingly learn about the four basic mathematical operations-  addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division – when  trying to work around their meagre allowance as pre-schoolers.

Battling Homework Overload in 3 Steps

In today’s competitive academic setting, teachers are now giving tons of homework for students to devour on a daily basis.  The rationale behind this homework surge is that students need to always on their guard and learn as many things as school time permits.

When homework overload is not managed, students can feel drained and tired and might grow weary of studying.  If you are about to experience or is on the brink of giving up on a mountain- sized of homework.

Come up with a planner

A planner is like an organizer which will allow you to put your homework into perspective.  You will be able to organize which assignments should be completed on a certain day.  In writing in your planner, which can be anything such as notebook or a calendar,  you have to evaluate which homework takes precedence over the others in terms of difficulty, because the harder the assignment is, the longer should it take time for you to finish which means it will eat up more days or hours in your planner.

Seek outside help

Getting assistance from homework help websites, family or friends or other learned people can make your mountain of homework more tolerable and easier to finish in due time. Just make sure that seek help in advance, not when the homework are due for tomorrow or something for that will only bring additional stress on your part and that person you sought help from.

Stick to the plan

No matter what circumstances occur, stick to the homework plan.  Avoid procrastinating, your plan will be useless if you put off doing homework that should be done today, tomorrow.  Even if you feel lazy, get on with doing your homework.  Committing to your homework planner will pay off in the end.  Accomplishing it hours before daybreak will have health and emotional and academic consequences.

Most Scandalous Teacher-Student Relationships

As a decree in academe, lecturers should discipline students. A great educator inspires his or her students in a right and proper approach in demonstrating wisdom and optimism, by means of awakening the minds of each individual in classroom.
 
On the contrary, in pocketbooks and novels that deviating school policies, there are customarily tales encompassing “teachers and students relationship”. Fabricated romantic stories surrounding instructors who take advantage the innocence of his/her pupil and so forth…

In real life, there are much more head-in-the-clouds fairytales arising in lecture halls. There’s a recent news item about an 18-year-old junior high school student in Manhattan Theater Lab High School named Eric Arty who was caught in camcorder lip-locking his 26-year-old Global Studies instructor Julie Warning in a park in New York. The high-school senior was videotaped and made headlines on tabloids while kissing his sexy teacher. He explained that he just won a bet with four of his pals, a stake to get bang and hook up first with their scorching hot mentor.

 
The appalling teacher will not face any immoral charges for the reason that Eric Arty (the teacher’s pet) is not a minor as he’s over the age of consent.  However, the student contends that Julie Warning wasn’t the lady he was photographed with in daily journal’s front page.

It seems like this teacher-student romance is somewhat rampant these days. But not all issues are for short term bond, just like the love affair in in Manhattan Theater Lab High School, there were more starry-eyed Teacher-Student stories indicated below that will certainly ruminate everyone whether it’s apt or not.

7 Famous Fictional Teachers in Movies

Teachers are the main providers of knowledge and scholarly skills carried out chiefly in academes. They are professional educators of life; needless to say, apart from our biological parents and guardians. Most of them are depicted on literary books, college essays, cinema theaters and TV series. 

Definitely, this shortlist is about the most remarkable fictional instructors in movies who completed our day truly enlightened, inspired as well as feeling dorky because of certain lead roles flanking with their hasty teaching antics. One way or another we want them to be real given that they are the coolest people whom every student should have known before putting their names down on the enrollment form.
 

 
Dewey Finn

Actor: Jack Black

Dewey Finn:
“It’s gonna be a really tough project, you're gonna have to use your head, your brain and your mind too.”

Perhaps, I’d also like to attend on his music class even though Dewey Finn is just a substitute teacher. It will surely make my childhood memories really great. He will jam my grade school nostalgias with loud and good rhythms as he took advantage us for his personal achievement by materializing a rock band for competition. But then again, I guess it feels incredibly momentous to attend on his energizing lectures.


Ms. Sharon Norbury
Mean Girls (2004)

Ms. Norbury:
“ I know having a boyfriend might seem like the only thing important to you right now, but you don't have to dumb yourself down in order for a guy to like you. “

Tina Fey as the pretty fed-up high school math instructor of Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) handles to resolve the conflict concerning the group of “plastics” headed by Regina George (Rachel McAdams). Her efforts to eliminate the “whores and sluts” disputes in the university turn out to be successful and the math brainiacs did a magnificent job during the competition. FYI: Tina Fey wrote the script shrewdly!

For the moment as he executed his task, Detective Kimble bangs the legal action and put the criminal to jail. Eventually he discovers his quasi-occupation is so worthwhile that he abandons the law enforcement agency to continue edifying kids. If there’s a former Mr. Universe in the class, I would definitely hit the attendance record perfectly!
 

 
Glenn Holland

80’s Yearbook Snapshots that You’ll Get A Kick Out Of

The 80’s was a year of blasts.

This decade was filled mullets, shoulder pads, big hair, and bright colors.  Queen’s, Blondie’s, and Michael Jackson dominated the airwaves.  Ronald Reagan became president. Alfred Hitchcock died. John Lennon died.

Inspite of the deaths of the legends in that era, everything else  was loud and perky and big. People in their high school years sported the trend that now many consider as something they have to defend or just left alone in a time capsule.  ‘The bigger - the better’ was the hair philosophy of many students who braved the dreaded yearbook photo sessions.

And so, in the spirit of the 80’s, I present yearbook photos from this era that even a cold-hearted person would smile about when they see these.
