Accepted - Reflection on the movie

I too, rented Accepted and wanted to place my reflections:

The movie was very much like the readings we have been doing about learning theories and how students learn regardless (or possibly, arguably, better) of what we force them to learn and in certain orders.

The premise of the movie (see Jessica's post for more details) explains much of the stigma of getting into colleges that we as a culture have deemed to be acceptable. Unfortunately, this alienates the smaller crowd who feels like they belong no where. South Harmon attempted to change this and opened a school where students can learn naturally, as so many philosophers have been harping for decades --if not centuries thanks to Dewey.

I found the movie to be entertaining but also enlightening (as much as seeing/hearing the word "shithead" can allow). Thanks to Bill for suggesting it! Now, question: Is it possible to quote the movie for reflection during other projects and our ARP? Haha. :)
