And if you try to make your math classes intresting, you get fired..http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/teacher-fired-assigning-violent-math-problems-third-graders-201910368.html
@somebodyshortI read on a page about Casablanca trivia that in order to show how much movies have changed since the 1940’s, the script was submitted to several people in Hollywood under the title “Everybody Comes To Rick’s”. A few recognized it, the rest returned it with rejections letters, most with comments saying it had “too much talking, not enough sex.”
“Try humor or rhyme Honestly humor is almost guaranteed to be remembered”
Rhymes are also excellent.
The math teacher I recall most clearly was a man who stood up in front of a high school class and pointed out that the most accurate method was the lazy method.
He had the attention of all 35+ of us, and whatever his method was (mathematics are not my long suit) worked, even for those of us who were math challenged.

Oh, they manipulated our emotions all right, just that they were usually a tad more subtle than nowadays.

Wait ’till you get interested in girls, Calvin. Then your emotions will really go on roller coaster rides of highs and lows!

He didn’t say it was good. Just old. No explosions? Even the Easter Bunny blows up his rivals these days.

Every one smokes in those old movies not a good thing.

Old movies manipulated emotions too. Movies always have, using the tools that were commonly popular in their age. What else is soundtrack music for?

For Calvin, an “old movie” might be one that’s five years old.

All movies manipulate emotions, whether action films or straight dramas, as does all fiction.
