Professor and student have it out during bizarre session

submitted by griefer_queafer

I am pretty sure this situation 'actually' played out, but it was part of a larger documentary by Caveh Zahedi.

From YT:

Clip from the short film "The World is a Classroom", a film by and starring independent "autobiographical" filmmaker Caveh Zahedi.

"The World is a Classroom" was made as part of "Underground Zero," an omnibus film in which independent filmmakers responded to the events of 9/11. "The World is a Classroom" documents a conflict between a teacher and a student in a classroom shortly after 9/11 to allegorically explore the wider conflict between the U.S. and Al Queda, as well as to explore the dynamics of power in any given conflict. It also attempts to suggest alternatives to the use of force as a solution to conflict.

What is this? A class teaching metaphysics?

I think it started out as a legitimate exercise in some sort of arts class then quickly devolved into the professor being way too sensitive.

The most counterproductive thing you can say to an upset person is "calm down." The teacher is justifiably upset by the student demeaning his lesson in free expression and intuitive communication. The overreaction could almost be considered part of the lesson.

It wasn't Algebra 101.

Looked like a liberal arts thing, maybe even acting.

Need more info.
