Post 1B
In the short film alternative math, the goal is to display the sad reality that teachers deal with it at school. The video argument starts when the teacher tells one of the students that 4 was the correct answer and not 22 from 2+2. However, the film under humor demonstrates the lack of trust and respect teachers are given (Ideaman2017). The tone used in this film is hypocritical since even the board ends up harassing the teacher by forcing her to apologize for being correct. Also, the parents are hypocritical since they know the teacher is correct causing the teacher and students to be upset.
This film shows us the reality when individuals do not accept other’s people’s opinions even if they are right or wrong. This type of source is reliable since it relates to our current reality and portrays challenges teachers encounter during their careers.
