The Emperor's Club - Comments and Message Board

This film is very thought-provoking to teachers as grading isn't maths and science always, but boils down to subjectivity to some extent. Wanting to encourage students whom we see making some effort can backfire as only "good seeds" don't abuse the encouragement. "Not a good idea to go against your better judgement as a teacher" is one message of this excellent theme of morals and consequences. Highly interesting to ponder on this student's character, who only had second thoughts about cheating on every level in society when he saw himself with his own son's eyes. Why did that make him swallow twice? So a sense of right and wrong is a built-in factor in humanity and best not to try by wrong make something right. This film leaves at least teachers with thousands of thoughts, which I think is a sign of an excellent film. I would never see this and just shrug.
