Lessons from the School of Rock

I know this isn't a new movie, but it still makes us laugh every time we see it. Darrell's favorite part is the "face-melting" guitar solo in "Teacher's Pet." I do think there are lessons to be learned from the movie about how students best learn. They began with a question,(in this case, "What is good rock?") and studied all aspects of the topic. Those kids were studying music history, economics, fashion, music performance, and computer programming. Even though the classroom looked a little chaotic, those kids were engaged and learned more in those three weeks than if Mr. Shneeee, let's just call him Mr. S., had simply given them worksheets. Maybe this movie should be required in the university-level teaching curriculum. This would be a good way to "stick it to da man."
