             In this move, Welton Academy is famous school.  Many students go to Ivy League after they graduate school. Also, in order to make students go to Ivy League, teachers treat them very hardly. They seem study machine. Many students have followed well of this harsh training until strange teacher is coming, John kitting. He changes this school. He also encourage school think freely. However, this activity is collapsed because principal know that and he restrict that activity. In this movie I see many hard treatment of teachers to students. Also, it makes me remind me the time when I was high school student. I am going to talk about harsh treatments of this school.

The first one is punishment style when students break school rules. When students break school rules, teachers give them various kinds of physical punishments. For example, if students didn’t do their homework, teachers hit them with his rod. Teachers even punish them when an exam score is bad. The reason teachers do such behavior is that they strongly believe the proverb ‘Spare the rod and spoil the child’. Because they want to make students study and get a good result in SAT, they feel they need to hit them.

The second difference is discrimination between inferior and superior students. Teachers give more chance the superior students. Even they ignore and laugh at inferior students about their low grade So it may promote an atmosphere of disharmony between superior and inferior students.
