For my prop I am going to bring in the movie, The Blind Side. I own the book also, but the book is at my house in Pittsburgh. The reason I chose this is because I think it best shows school culture. At Michael Oher's previous schools, the teachers would just give him the minimum passing grades to just pass him onto the next grade level. When he was enrolled in a private school, the teachers began to start caring in how he did and when he was given the individual attention he needed, his grades went up and he was able to graduate from high school and go to college at Ole Miss. I think this movie best shows the two polar types of school culture that are evident today.
