Girl, that's not a theory! That's the TRUTH! The unfortunate truth... It's all about politics. If you don't know the game, then you lose... That's one of the most important lessons I learned during my matriculation.
One of my peers had this to say on another message board:
Quote:
"wilson technically is an "inner-city" school because they are given that distinction based on diversity and we are diverse enough to qualify. and back when this happened, wilson was a pretty bad school (i don't think it was nearly what the movie makes it out to be, but nonetheless pretty horrible academically).
what gets me though is the teacher, she only taught for 4 years. she then wrote her book, became a lecturer at long beach state, and sold the rights to this movie. if she was such a damn good teacher, she should have kept teaching. instead she chose the self-gratifying, high-paying road of selling her exaggerated life story."

Personally, I can't say that I agree with everything she says, but she does make some good points.
