The amiable Mr. Tang made him feel close, while the unsmiling Mr. Li made him feel afraid. Children have their own personality. Fang Qiangqiang tried to get close to them, get to know them, and instinctively looked for his allies. He soon became friends with Chen Nanyan and Chen Beiyan.
Recommended reason: there are education problems, growth problems, personal independence problems, freedom problems, laws and regulations problems, and human growth problems. The film has both comedy and tragedy. It is complicated and has many levels. Kindergarten is the world of children aged three to six, but this child's world can also be regarded as a reflection of the adult world, or a fable of the adult world.
2. Children are not stupid (Singapore)
Introduction: The story tells how three children who participated in the EM3 course responded to the conflict between their studies and their three families. In the fifth grade, primary school students in Singapore will be assigned to three different courses according to their academic performance, namely EM 1, EM2 or EM3, among which EM3 is the shallowest and considered as the least promising.
Through the three children assigned to the EM3 course, we can see how the so-called "elite education" rules of the game and the parents' mentality of "looking forward to children" have killed the fate of a group of helpless children. Three children with poor reading ability-Wen Fu, Guo Bin and Terry-entered the special class of EM3 and were under invisible pressure.
Highlight: This movie is full of warmth, laughter and tears. It won applause from all walks of life in Singapore, including senior government officials, and was strongly recommended by Time magazine.
The film discusses family relations, children's suicide, education system and communication between parents and children. It is a rare film with simple explanation and full of laughter. There are many metaphors in the story. The incidents between children and adults are used to describe the subtle relationship between Singaporeans and the government.
3. Spring of cowboy class (France)
Introduction: A group of rebellious children, a tyrannical headmaster, when they met a kind school supervisor, the whole campus miraculously passed through the haze and ushered in spring. Matthew, the school supervisor, is kind and rigorous. He understands human dignity, so he is merciful. He is an unsuccessful musician, unsmiling, but his obsession with music can make "bad boys" change and bring happiness to people.
Naturally, the students became members of a small choir. The compulsory course every day is singing. Learn to cooperate, learn to make songs beautiful and learn to be stable.
Highlight: Music teacher Matthew's attitude towards so-called excellent students and stubborn students shows the charm of this teacher. Teachers and parents always habitually think that bad children always do bad things, but if they don't reflect on their own ideas, it may be prejudice or even discrimination.
