Beyond Legend: Stand and Deliver as a study in School Organizational Culture – Roger C. House
Stand and Deliver is a movie about a teacher who is on a journey to turn a school around, the teacher says “if life is unfair you must work harder!”. The film is has received some harsh critisms stating that the film is one-dimensional, socially disturbing and racially oppressive. Also it has been said that the clichéd plot distracts from the deeper meaning of the film. However, the film does successfully illustrate the way in which schools function as social systems in deprived areas.
