The crisis can be a turning point where the adolescent realizes that he or she is no longer a child and that he has to be responsible. In the movie, one of the female students, Callie, realizes that she has put her future in jeopardy because she is pregnant.

What are the chances this movie could have been made with MichellePfeiffer hooking the kids on the lyrics of or? The teacher manages to encourage the girl to stay in school and continue with her education despite the bureaucratic school rules. The movie Dangerous Minds is no exception. Whathas happened in the book-to-movie transition of LouAnne Johnson's book isrevealing. The fact that they are working at opposite extremes of each other shows that they are affecting his growth.

These include bribing and manipulating the students so that they can agree to participate in their studies. Although she is a bright student who excels in English, the fact that she is in that particular class means that she does not see the benefits of education. The teacher in the movie ends up finding some hidden talent within the students, which the student did not know they had. Apart from teaching in the classroom, the teacher takes on the role of being a cop and a psychologist.
Although Emilio is popular, his popularity stems from the fact that many students and teachers fear him. This is seen by the fact that the school has established a system of helping pregnant students. After having a terrible first day, she decides she must throw decorum to the wind.

The movie addresses bullying though it does not provide the solution for dealing with the problem. He represents a sort of bureaucracy that may be evident in a section of the population. The exosystem includes the social contexts that an individual might not interact with frequently although they will still influence him or her.
This ultimately affects the way the student sees himself. At every stage of adolescent development, adolescents experience a crisis, which gives them an opportunity to grow. The students begin to trust her because of this and this makes it easier for her to teach them. The students in this particular class do not see the importance of education and they do not show any interest in learning. These levels are the mesosystem, microsystem, macrosystem and exosystem.
