There, he encounters his nemesis, the high school's vice principal. When the vice principal tries to turn Adrian in, Adrian abducts him at gunpoint and forces him to snowboard as if his life depended on it, because, in this case, it does. Adrian hopes, in this way, to make the vice principal understand that what he and society say are most important, namely academic success, are just as arbitrary judgment factors as snowboarding prowess. It's really easy when it works for you. But I think I understand something about education.
People have different aptitudes.
It's unrealistic and dangerously misguided to make everyone fit the same mold. I've seen this enough to now to have something to say about it. Andrews and Knies agree that the movie accurately portrays what real kids feel in high school these days. I feel that a lot of the kids that go to school right now will understand his character and understand what he goes through at school. People will look at the movie and look at stuff that's happening in society.
