Mona Lisa Smile Part 1/12

2003's Mona Lisa Smile tells the story of Katherine Ann Watson (played by Julia Roberts), a feminist teacher who studied at UCLA graduate school who leaves her boyfriend behind in Los Angeles, to teach at Wellesley College, a conservative women's private liberal arts college in Massachusetts, In 1953. Watson encourages her students to study to become career professionals. She uses modern art to suggest that they need not conform to female stereotype, even introducing the students to the work of Jackson Pollock. She feels that women can do more than solely adopt the roles of wives and mothers.

Education in the US is a joke. One of my good friends grew up in Russia and they were learning how to factor in the 3rd grade. We really need to improve public education in the United States :/

I'm currently in college and I can't help but wonder why these girls would read the entire book and memorized it prior to the class...do they not have lives?

Could somebody tell me what “flicka” means in that particular scene? I’ve read definitions over the internet and I’m not sure what she meant when she called Betty “Flicka”. English is not my primary language and sometimes I don’t get these “jokes”.. Thanks in advance..

@rayraybbydoll it's not onmy the USA, but all the occidental countries unfortunately. I was lucky to be schooled with a semi-soviet system. And it helped a lot
