Is this appropriate for E&M??

Okay. just to lighten the mood.
If anyone has seen The Breakfast club, who would you say you were more like as a kid at school.

I use this film because in my country we don't have the same stereotypes the same way and I just thought it would be fun.

So were/are you a
Jock
Princess
Misfit
Straight A student
Criminal.

Or something else.
Do you think that stereotypes are not a way to judge or understand people?


I was a little like Alison, but not as fancifull in my imagination but I wanted to be different like her and not conform to stereotype.

No, its not appropriate.

I was most like the Straight A student in the movie, though not quite as pressured.

They are a way -- just not a good way. Obviously, people will differ in significant ways from the stereotype, which I think was one of the main points of the movie.

When I took the Facebook test, it said I was a hermit misfit. Which, I am. But I'm a happy misfit. Remember the old cartoon about Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys?

Good thread. Couldn't really compare myself to anyone in the breakfast club. I'm pretty much the same person now as I was at school, apart from I'm a lot less cocky and a lot more chilled out. Wasn't very easy to concentrate at school, as it was like a bloody jungle at times so there weren't many straight A students if any at all, but I was one of the brightest out of a bad bunch I think. We did have more than our fair share of 'characters', criminals and misfits though, so I don't think I really stood out in this respect. I think if I'd gone to a better behaved school though, I wouldn't have been able to get away with the way I acted at times. I was good at sports, so you could say I was a mixture of all your stereotypes (excluding the princess). So, as already said I think it is hard to fit anyone into a stereotype.

Incidentally, my former school has gone so far downhill apparently, that they have full time police there at all times now, and it isn't even the worst school in the area.

To judge - sure.
To understand - not so much.
