Open Forum Friday--NJ Teen Lawsuit Edition

Bellringer: A New Jersey teen was in court this week after suing her parents for her private school tuition, basic living expenses, and part of her college fund. They say she moved out. She says they kicked her out.

Who has the right to the funds? See the full story here.

You did a GREAT job with this discussion! I loved how passionate you were about supporting the teen, and also defending the parents, but then how your opinions changed after we watched the video. Great discussion with this!

Recap: Following our discussion, we watched a clip from the Dead Poet's Society, which won the Oscar for Best Screenwriting. It's a well-written film, and I wanted you to see the best of what it had to offer.

I also want you to note how film has changed since we began our Oscar timeline. You noted the cinematography and camera angles, as well as how film began to rope you in, making you more a part of the action.

Excellent work this week! Enjoy your weekend!
